[RTTY] 2006 CQ WW RTTY Plaque Announcement

[Mike]

Hello,

The CQ WW RTTY DX Contest is this weekend.  In 
anticipation, most of last year’s award plaques 
sponsors were contacted regarding continued 
sponsorship.  Fortunately, they said they would 
continue with their sponsorship. I, as new Plaque 
Program Chairman, wish to thank them for their 
continued support of this part of the CQ WW RTTY DX Contest Awards Program.

know if you are interested in sponsoring a plaque 
and for what category.  Plaque sponsorship is $60 per plaque.

Funding is not required at this time.  The 
request for the plaque funding will be sent to 
the sponsors in late December.  The funds will 
need to be received by end of January.

Again, thanks to all the plaque sponsors.

See you in the Contest.

         Mike, K4GMH
