<DIV>We are looking for new sponsors for several Ohio QSO Party plaques.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Joe Matt, W3AG, who has sponsored the Rover plaque for the past few years,
has decided not to do this going forward. We appreciate Joe's support for those
years, especially notable in that Joe, while a MRRC member, is not an Ohioan!
(Although he does have some family roots here in the Buckeye
state). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Several years ago we decided that the Out of State High Power and Low Power
Single Operator plaques were pretty much winnable by the same group of people,
those who happened to be in whatever area that propagation favored that year. So
we combined them into a Single Operator Out of State, and started the plaque for
the Mountain/Pacific time zones. We intend to keep that M/P plaque, but if some
club or person would like to sponsor an Out of State Low Power plaque, we could
go back to plaques for each power level.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Muskingum Ham Radio Club, which has sponsored three plaques in recent
years, has indicated that they may want to scale back that number. I've not had
a definitive response from them, but we may need a sponsor for one or
two of the ones they have sponsored.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A plaque costs $60.00. We collect the money in the spring, when we get the
results compiled.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let me know if interested.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks and 73 -</DIV>
