2011 Plaques - updated 16 Dec 2011 Here is the plaque list for the 2011 running of the Stew Perry Topband Distance Challenge. If you would like to be considered for some of the more mysterious plaques - like first timer, best score with just a wire or even the best YL score - it would be useful if you indicated this in your SOAPBOX comments in your Cabrillo log. Just copy the text of the awards you are eligible for in the comments and we should be able to find it quickly. If you would like to sponsor a plaque, please contact Lew, W7EW (w7ew @ arrl.net).
