We have a similar program here... We are plagued by the Japanese Beetle....so
we go out and by Japanese Beetle Traps and give them to our NEIGHBORS
as gifts ($-> You beer drinkers in the Lone Star should give bug zappers to
YOUR neighbors! You can drink all the beer you want as you watch your
neighbors inundated with the critters.... The neighbors love you for your
concern over their comfort till they do some snoopin' around and discover
that you gave them the BAIT!

P.S. Plaques??? Not when you live within 200 miles of 90% of the worlds
finest OPs!....so you wait for your measly certificate and have it mounted
yourself :-)

Subject: Looking for volunteers
Message-ID: <v02140b00addbe093ff30@[206.65.185.56]>
No one can argue that the CQ-CONTEST mailing list has been busy. Sure,
there is some 'crap'. But there is some gold in them thar hills, too. I'm
looking for a few volunteers to help mine some of that gold.
If you volunteer, I'll assign you a subject that has been recently
discussed on the reflector. I'll send you all the messages pertaining to
that subject. Your job will be to SUMMARIZE the information, then e-mail
me the edited text file. The summary will then be posted on the KA9FOX web
site for anyone in the future to access. (http://www.4w.com/ham/ka9fox/)
Your reward for your work will be to have your callsign listed as the
person who put together the summary... right next to the summary on my web
site.
To volunteer, just drop me a note. If you have a particular subject you
want to do, let me know as well... otherwise I'll just randomly assign you
one.
One other point... Have you ever asked a question on the CQ-CONTEST mailing
list? Got some good feedback? Then give something back to the contesting
community by editing the information into a good SUMMARY, then sending it
to me for posting on the KA9FOX web site!
Thanks for your time!

Subject: WPX Certificates HELP!!!
Message-ID: <9606051752.AA14152@chip.agfa.com>
I couldn't agree more! I am new (returning) to the hobby and really get a
big kick out of cw contesting. Sometime in the near future when my
youngest child finally finishes college I'll have some discretionary income
and maybe a competitive station.
The single most negative feeling has been waiting over 2 years for a WPX
certificate.
I also agree with another post. Thanks for volunteering but if you can't do
the job please get some help.
Do the big guns get their certificates/plaques?
