[CQ-Contest] WPX Plaques - Who should win them?

[Russell Hill]

Richard, if I were the 2nd top Texas station, I would be happy to receive 
recognition for the extraordinary effort required for that accomplishment.

If you were the Top Texas station, then you should win the Top Texas trophy, 
be it a wooden plaque or whatever.

If you were also the top W5, Zone 4, USA, and world, that would not make me 
the Top Texas station.  That would still be your accomplishment.

73,
Rusty
