On the morning of the ssb contest the mailman delivered two certificates from CQ, always nice to get them. One was for CQWW CW 2011 the other for CQWW SSB 2011. Looking at that mail got me to thinkin
I strongly support your idea Brian! Just like in WAE. No need for CQ to be buying and sending out tons of paper. Also my thoughts anyway. Vy 73. Martin, LU5DX ________________________________________
And if someone did want to have a real certificate, maybe there is a way to have the opportunity to pay a little amount of money (postage charges?) so the still send you a certificate. Even a little
Sure, if CQ Magazine doesn't have to pay to print and mail certificates, they can offer cash prizes to the winners. Nope, that might give some an incentive to cheat:) How about using the savings to p

Brian, You are right that it is expensive to print and mail certificates to thousands of people per contest. However, it is worth it when we get excited emails from new contesters happy to have won t

I certainly can remember my first certificate! In my case it wasn't that long ago, it must have been the year 2008. I emidiately bought a frame to put it in so that I could put it on the wall in the
How about just putting "no cert or plaque" into the address field? 73, George George Wagner, K5KG Sarasota, FL 941-400-1960 cell Brian, You are right that it is expensive to print and mail certificat
I don't think you need a new Cabrillo field for this. Instead, just extend one of the existing fields. There are many possibilities: The operators tag supports more than one callsign. One could be a
I agree that there should be a way to avoid the expense of printing and sending unwanted certificates and/or plaques. As a moderately active VHF contester, I have received a certificate from ARRL for
I'm not sure I agree with Randy on this. If I could download a certificate with my name, callsign and details of my place in the contest already inserted, I think that would give me as big a rush as
I have to say I agree with Pete on this one. Plaques are a different matter....but with my station, I am in it for fun and if a cert comes my way....GREAT. I am not expecting a plaque any time soon.
Living in a state with very few contest operators (especially on CW), pretty much any time I send in even a tiny part-time log I get another certificate for "first place in Mississippi." Some way to

I agree with Pete. I think that you could allow us to print out the certificates on line and it would be just fine. Send out the plaques. Bill W5VX I'm not sure I agree with Randy on this. If I could
Well guys, I appreciate that many of you have more than enough wallpaper and don't neccesarily desire more, at least if it's not truly outstanding or unique. But there are quite a few of us who do st
I agree. I still like getting my 'Once in a Blue Moon' certificate, but it doesn't have to be mailed. An Email attachment would suffice. 73, Gerry, K8GT 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Net
I think each contestant should be able to choose what type of certificate they want. Either the CQ certificate by mail or a CQ certificate via e-mail. If this is done with entry of the log this will
Personally as a little pistol, I really like getting the certs when I win them. But I certainly understand that some folks don't like em. I further agree with Jim K8MR that a certificate for three c
Companies are always asking if I want to go "paperless" when I pay my bills. How about a new Cabrillo field? AWARD-PAPERLESS: Y or N Y = prefers a pdf file, N = prefers a mailed certificate. Does not
