[RTTY] 2007 CQ WW

[aa5au at bellsouth.net]

I agree with Andrei.  This forum is a proper place for recognizing not only the RTTY achievement of individuals and groups for their outstanding performances but also to recognize plaque sponsors and contest sponsors.

I enjoy reading about the success of others.  When I see a post regarding the receiving of a plaque, I nearly always send a personal reply congratulating the recipient.

It's important to recognize plaque sponsors and to let everyone know this person is giving something "extra" to our sport of RTTY contesting.
