[CQ-Contest] Sweepstakes Plaques - Where are the sponsors?

[K9TM]

I know that the 1999 year (reported Jun 2000), there was an error in the
sponsored plaques reported in QST.  MRRC sponsored plaques which didn't make
it into the magazine.  I can't remember the details of why this happened (I
think it had something to do with changing people at the league?).  Anyway,
I can't believe we were the only ones that sponsored plaques and they
weren't reported in the magazine.

I know it to be true as I was pres at the time, I watched the $ go to the
league from the treasury and the plaque is hanging on my wall for cw (and it
says MRRC).

The other thing is the addition of category(s) (unlimited, school, etc) *
number of divisions.  It adds up.

Bottom line, I don't think it is as bad as what you reported.  As usual
garbage in -> garbage out, no fault of yours. :-)
