[PaQSO] PAQSO Update and news

[Mike Coslo]

The first item is that the certificates have been printed and mailed.

Second, the Plaques are due back from the engraver any day now,

Third, the results have been printed, folded etc, and will be mailed in 
the immediate future. Just have to transfer funds into the Post office 
account.

All that remains are the T's and the mugs, and that will be accomplished 
and mailed as soon as possible.

    This has been a formative and learning experience for me. The things 
I have learned will allow me to streamline and improve many aspects of 
the party. I will be asking opinions in the near future regarding some 
of the streamlining changes that may affect the participants. Most will 
be transparent to you, but I want to check to see if there are any 
unintended consequences of a change.

Finally, I would like to announce the Special Event station for the 2006 
party will be the Wireless Association of South Hills operating station  
N3SH. We will be looking forward to a multi-location operation, which 
has proved very popular. WASH will provide details as they evolve.

    Thank you all very much for your patience with me - I offer my 
profound apologies for all the delay in getting the results out - and 
bear in mind that no matter how happy you may be in getting this contest 
wrapped up, it would pale in comparison to my relief in getting it 
finished! 8^)
