To ARRL Contest Participants,
We are pleased to announce that through the
extraordinary efforts of Bruce
Horn, WA7BNM, together with Trey Garlough, N5KO, Ward
Silver, N0AX, and the
ARRL IT Team, the ARRL?s Contest Program has begun
making contest award
certificates available for download from the ARRL web in
PDF and JPG
formats.
The web page to access these certificates is:
http://contests.arrl.org/certi
ficates.php - just enter the call sign.
Three events are currently available for downloads:
- 2017 IARU HF Championship
- 2017 ARRL 222 MHz and Up Distance Contest
- 2017 ARRL September VHF Contest
Future certificates for more current events, as well as
past events going
back well over a decade, will be made available in the
next few weeks.
This new online-certificate feature will offer enhanced
content over what
has been offered previously on ARRL certificates, and
makes certificates
available to a greater number of participants. New
recognitions have been
added for top-ten participants in a broader number of
geographical
(Country, Division, Section) or categorical entries.
New event-certificate releases will be announced as they
become available.
73,
Bart Jahnke, W9JJ

Hi Bart,
Does this mean that there will be no more mailed
certificates in the future?

That's how I read it. Plus a further watering down of
the "value" of
a certificate by awarding more of them. I assume that
soon any
entrant will be awarded a certificate in some category
(SOLP, Icom
746Pro, dipole antenna). This is not unlike ARRL's
theory of
licensing - make the test very easy and give all
privileges to those
that pass.
Next up: 3D printed plaques.
