<br>
Thank you for expressing the Louisiana Contest Club's interest in sponsoring a
RTTY plaque. <br>
<br>
For 2010, the 2010 CQ WW WPX RTTY Contest still has a few categories without
plaque sponsors - SOAB LP Asia, and any of the single band, HP or LP, <st1:place
w:st="on">North America</st1:place> categories. Another possibility would
be for a call area specific type of plaque, e.g., SOAB HP 5th Call Area (Hank
Lonberg, KR7X, is sponsoring a SOAB HP 7th Call Area plaque in memory of
W7GG.) Several clubs sponsor Club Competition category plaques,
e.g., Potomac Valley Radio Club sponsors the Club Competition, World
plaque and the Northern California Contest Club sponsors the plaque for the
North America category winner. These are some suggestions/possibilities
to consider for the 2010 WPX Contest. If the Club decides to sponsor a
plaque for this year's Contest, please identify the category as soon as
possible due to the approaching deadline on getting the information to CQ
Magazine for publication of the Contest results and plaque winners/sponsors.
<br>
<br>
Just finishing up the 2009 CQ WW DX RTTY Contest plaque artwork. The 2010
CQ WW DX RTTY Contest plaque sponsorship arrangement is to give the 2009
sponsors the first right to re-sponsor their plaque categories in 2010.
This notification for continued sponsorship goes to the 2009 sponsors in late
August/early September. A general solicitation is placed on the
RTTY Reflector right before the Contest in late September for new sponsors for
any of the categories not picked up by a previous sponsor or for any new
category plaque sponsors. If the Club is interested in starting a plaque
sponsorship for the 2010 Contest, then I can let you know which of the previous
sponsored plaques will need a new sponsor prior to putting out the general solicitation.
At this time, I have no idea of which presently sponsored plaques will need a
new sponsor. Still, a number of the same plaque sponsorship categories
available for the 2010 WPX Contest are available for the 2010 CQ WW DX RTTY
Contest.<br>
<br>
The cost per plaque is $65 due at the time of committing to plaque
sponsorship. The funds can be sent direct to:<br>
Mike Sims, K4GMH<br>
<st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">410 Brooke Road</st1:address></st1:Street><br>
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Fredericksburg</st1:City>, <st1:State
w:st="on">VA</st1:State> <st1:PostalCode w:st="on">22405</st1:PostalCode></st1:place><br>
<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">USA</st1:place></st1:country-region><br>
<br>
or via PayPal using my e-mail address, <a href="mailto:k4gmh@arrl.net">k4gmh@arrl.net</a>,
as the account identifier.<br>
<br>
Again, thank you and the Louisiana Contest Club for considering sponsoring a
plaque in the fastest growing contesting mode, RTTY. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

copied K4GMH who manages the plaques for the two CQ RTTY<br>
contests. There are LOTS of RTTY plaques available to sponsor. On
each<br>
website (<a href="http://www.cqwwrtty.com" target="_blank">www.cqwwrtty.com</a>
and <a href="http://www.cqwpxrtty.com" target="_blank">www.cqwpxrtty.com</a>)
is a webpage showing who is<br>
sponsoring which plaque for the most current running of that contest. We<br>
don't list "unsponsored" plaques because the list is really long.
You can<br>
sponsor any category in the rules not yet sponsored. If you'd like a<br>
suggestion, I'm sure Mike can make a few based on unsponsored plaques for<br>
key categories.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your interest!<br>
