[VHFcontesting] Pacific NorthWest VHF Plaques

[Lew]

Ladies, Gentlemen and others,
      The 4 beautiful plaques from the 2003 running of the ARRL VHF June 
Contest have been put into the US Mail today. These plaques were all 
sponsored by the Boring Amateur Radio Club in an effort to stimulate 
competition in the CN Grid block area.  The current sponsored plaques 
are for:
    Top high power single-op
    Top low power single-op
    Top qrp/portable single-op
    Any rover with >/= 100 total QSO's with at least 4 CN grids

N0JK sponsored one of the plaques last year and we thank him profusely. 
  If you would like to sponsor a plaque for this contest through the 
Boring Amateur Radio Club for any category,( within the boundaries of 
marginal taste as determined by a sub-committee of the Club) then advise 
me of the category and send the Club $50.00 in care of my CBA. The 
category will then be advertised and the plaque produced for the winner 
of that class, notching up just a tad the spirit of the competition. 
Plus your call will forever be inscribed upon that plaque as the donor, 
smiling down from a Winner's wall.
      There will be another note similar to this one shortly before the 
Tip-off advising the VHF'ers, the UHF'ers and the micro/lighters about 
the possible hardware awaiting valiant efforts.
    It's all about having fun!
    73 and I remain,
