(This plaque business must be only for High-Power operators....)

One of my prize possessions is a SS Certificate from 1989 for the SSB, 
Low Power GA section win. (I know Bill is at a level of contesting where 
he throws certificates away and only keeps plaques.) But this certificate 
has a Division Leader sticker on it.

Now, you may wonder. How did a modest station (A3 at 35', dipoles) in 
Georgia take the low-power Southeastern Division when competing against 
the geographically-advantaged stations in KP4 and KP2?

Answer: 1989 was the year Hurricane Hugo came through in September and 
left little standing in either place.

Bottom Line: It ain't EVER a done deal.
