Apparently Dick has not been exposed to those Plaques of Art
awarded to TopBand Stalwarts for top performances thrashed out during
The Stew Perry TopBand DX Challenge sponsored by the participants and
overseen by The Boring Amateur Radio Club. These metal and fiber
masterpieces have won the coveted "Plaq-ee" award for top plaque in the
world the past 5 years in a row, as voted on, typically in secret,
shortly after the Contester's dinner in Dayton annually.
Please don't let this small inaccuracy of Dick's affect your
opinion of what he wrote, nor assume this is an derogatory statement
concerning plaques awarded for performances in other contests.
73 and I remain,
