[OKDXA] Oklahoma QSO Party/OK Centennial/1x1 Calls

[Jerry Chouinard]

Good work on the event application Coy!

As an idea, if we get calls issued for all the letters needed to spell 
OKLAHOMA in participants logs folks working OKLAHOMA a "prize" might be in 
order.  Logs would have to be received for cross checking to confirm 
OKLAHOMA.  Hopefully we will have enough calls so that we can require ops 
to work different A and O stations to spell it out.  I can add cross 
checking for OKLAHOMA to the current log checking program.

I have a suggestion for ops who work OKLAHOMA.  Gene's donation of his 
prized Kure Is. coffee cup was well received at the banquet so we might do 
up cups with the Oklahoma Centennial Seal and an OKDXA logo on it.  I have 
some experience with having cups made up.  As with any "trophy" it takes 
something to mail/deliver so we would want to consider all the costs of 
such a program.  Like the plaques however, we could expect some donations 
so I'd bet we can deliver some type of "Congratulations, you worked 
OKLAHOMA" trophy.  The cup is just one idea, anyone have others?

Thanks for your efforts with the request form Coy.
