Greetings Topbanders! The plaques for the 2011 CQ160M contest have now been produced and shipped. USA winners should have their plaques in the next few days (I know a few have actually been received already).
As some people have noted, a few plaques were inadvertently omitted from the published results and a few errors crept in. CW Single Operator Russia sponsored by Dmitri Gorshkov, UA2FB. Winner: Vadim Ovsyannikov, R9DX Single Operator Assisted Zone 3 by Larry Pace, N7DD. Winner: Preston Smith, N6SS Single Operator QRP Zone 4 by Dale Putnam, WC7S. Winner: Charles Hansen, N0TT SSB Single Operator Russia by Dmitri Gorshkov, UA2FB. Winner: Vladimir G. Falshunov, UA9KAA SSB/CW Combined World Multioperator by Top Band DX Club. Winner: Station P33W (operators: RA3AUU, 5B4AIE, RW4WR) In addition, the CW Single Operator CANADA trophy winner should have been listed as: VY2ZM, operated by Mladen Bogdanov, YT6W. The CW Asia winner should have been listed as 4L0A, operated by Zhoda Daniil, UT5EO. The name of the SSB USA Multioperator category winner (K1LZ) was incorrect. The correct name of the station owner is Krassimir Petkov. All the plaques listed above were produced with the correct information and shipped. - - - - - For 2012, two new plaques have been added...both for Top Single-operator in the Southern Hemisphere: CW sponsored by W7RH, and SSB sponsored by K7NJ/4X4NJ. - - - - - Several plaque donors have chosen to relinquish their sponsorships. We thank them for their past support of the CQ160M contest, and now have openings for sponsors for the following plaques: CW Multi-operator Europe SSB Single-op USA SSB Single-op Low Power USA SSB Multi-operator Europe SSB Multi-operator USA Zone 3 Please contact me directly if you are interested in sponsoring one of these plaques.
