[CQ-Contest] ARRL Contest Awards Update

[Kutzko, Sean, KX9X]

Hi Pete-

PDF certificates are being considered, but that won't happen for a while.

It's far easier from an internal-processing standpoint to keep the printing and mailing jobs based on a specific event.

Hi Sean - I know you guys are trying to make up for lost time, but why not aggregate the certificates for given addressees and mail them all together - it's awfully costly to do the way ARRL is now.

For that matter, I think you should stop mailing certificates altogether, and just provide links to individual .pdf files.  After the initial programming cost, that would have to save thousands a year, and it's not like color printers are scarce any more.

Hi folks-



2012 IARU certificates went out the door yesterday. W/VE hams will get their certificates direct. Certificates for non-W/VE stations will, as always, be sent to the IARU Member Society for their country, where all will be signed by their respective IARU President or lead official



2012 Phone Sweepstakes plaques are going out the door today. Winners should see them by the middle of next week.



GL to all in this weekend's ARRL SSB DX Contest.
