[PaQSO] Plaques Arrived!

[Schreiner, Mark]

I've been operating the PA QSO Party for several years now, not as many 
as some of you out there (GRUMP) and maybe a bit longer than some 
others.  I've almost always operated portable, enjoying operating in 
Potter, Mifflin, Snyder and this past year in Clinton County, as well as 
having operated from my home counties of Bucks and Lehigh and maybe 
sometime will operate from my new home county of Centre.  The past 5 or 
more years I have operated QRP.   I've surely had fun operating from 
counties where there is little activity, helping others get a clean 
sweep (which I have yet to do myself).

I would like to thank Penn Wireless for sponsoring the Top PA QRP plaque 
which I received today.  I've tried very hard to get this several years 
and was always edged out by Goody, K3NG.  This is my first plaque for 
the PA QSO Party!  I am so happy!

Oh, there is a second envelope as well, what is this one?  Oh, another 
plaque!  What would this be for, as I'm already bursting with joy over 
the QRP plaque?  OMG!  1st Place Portable!  Thanks much to Eric Brookes, 
N3EB for sponsoring that plaque.  Surely a great surprise to have gotten 
that this year as well, especially as I was not particularly chasing 
that one!

Thanks all who worked me last year.  We'll see where I end up in 2011!

73,
