[CQ-Contest] 2008 Sweepstakes Plaque arrived today!

[fred muehlen]

I wish to extend a most sincere "thank you" to Sean, KX9X, the ARRL crew and Icom for my first plaque, West Gulf Division Winner, QRP CW.  I knew it was coming, so I had been checking the mailbox daily.  I was disappointed when I didn't find it in the mailbox again today, but was so pleased to find it waiting for me on the porch.  I wasn't expecting it to be so large.  It will be proudly displayed in the shack and will hopefully be the first of more to come.  Thanks to all of you who worked me in the contest and patiently hung in there to pull my weak signal out.  Looking forward to this year's contest and hoping to make my first sweep.
