Hi John and all, did they (ARRL) also drop the W/VE Multi-op HP and LP plaques
or were they just not sponsored and therefore not listed in the QST article
(available on the ARRL Members only page). Also the N5ZM listed results were 19
QSO's short (with a lower score) of what I turned in. Anyone else notice this
with their listed score in the article. Never has happened to me before.
Inquiring minds would like to know. 

73, Earl N5ZM..
