I guess I was miss understood. I agree 100% with adding the CW only  
category. I have been suggesting this for several years. I understood the  proposal 
was to only give certificates to the SSB only and CW only categories.  The 
proposal stated:

issued for the >appropriate awards as are now issued.

I disagreed with this and would want to see plaques provided equally for  all 
three categories. This assumes we can get adequate sponsors.

I agree, I have been suggesting this to Mike for months.

There is no doubt that adding the additional categories will increase  
participation. That is the point I was making.
