I don't know anything about the plaques. If there are sponsors,
there should be plaques. We need to ask Dan directly about this.
As far as the lower score, I was deducted 20 QSO's from my reported
total. ARRL used some sort of log checking tool this year so they
must have found some things they didn't like. Losing 20 out of 1600
ain't too bad though. It was worse in CQWW & WPX RTTY.
