[SECC] GQP changes

[Matt Lee, K4AQ]

"I also propose that Ed's comment of needing 3 entries in a category/class
be met for an award to be issued be adopted.  This may trim the total award
set a bit."

I agree having 3 entries minimum for a plaque award.

I disagree requiring 3 entries for a certificate award.
