Just my personal input.
The top Georgia stations ARE being awarded for their efforts by both plaques
and certificates, in all three sections.
If what you mean is to award Georgia stations for working the most counties
during the GQP, I personally think that will be counter-productive to the
contest.
The aim of Georgia operators is/should be to work everyone OUTSIDE of
Georgia and Georgia once for the multiplier. Besides that, it does not make
a lot of sense to me for Georgia stations to ONLY look for Georgia counties
to work simply because one's total score would be quite poor.
I do, however, agree with looking for more attractive awards as in my
opinion, especially for next year, plaques and certificates are becoming
somewhat 'old hat'!
OR did I just completely miss your point?

Subject: [SECC] GQP Prizes
Do you guys think it might be worthwhile to sponsor some type of award for
the top GA stations
as well like we are doing with out-of state with the Lane Packing prizes ?
Maybe a prize for the
top 5 GA stations who work the most multipliers. 122 is the MAX for an in
state station. Maybe we
can add the GA counties they work to that total, even they aren't counted
in the official contest rules.
The whole idea around this is to reward active stations who get on. Lane
Packing has some inexpensive gifts like candies and nuts that are under $10.
Last I heard K4OD, K4BAI and myself
were the only one's sponsoring the out-of-state prize. Anyone else want to
maybe help out with a possible in-state prize. It will be no work for you.
K4OD is doing the arrangements with Lane.. We just need the $$ donation to
do it...
