Plaque Program

1. The CQ World-Wide VHF Contest, held the third full weekend in July, offers unique, handsome 9" x 12" walnut plaques to the highest scoring stations in various categories. Plaques are offered on a sponsored basis, with the donor's name and call, or club engraved on the plaque.

2. Plaques are grouped into two geographic categories: USA and World [non-USA].

3. Suggested categories for plaque winners with competitive entries are as follows:

        Single-Op All-Band
           USA
           World
           Continental

        Single-Op 6 Meters & Single-Op 2 Meters
           USA
           World

4. Only one plaque per contest entry will be awarded. If an entry is the high score for more than one geographical area [example, top EU and World], the higher category is awarded [World] and no plaque is awarded for the lower category.

5. Specialty categories will be considered for sponsorship. Contact the Contest Director.
