[FQP] FQP certificates

[k1to at aol.com]

Thanks for the input!
 
Since the replies have trickled off, here are the one-day totals:
A)  1
B)  8
C)  4
D)  0
E)  1 (Just making this up but it was an e-mail that involved both WC4E and KU8E...)
 
The two key points here are that the certificate design itself seems OK and that there is growing interest in some sort of e-certificate.
 
Interesting comments:
- Cost savings with C).  
My reply - Certainly true, but the FCG does budget each year for FQP costs.
 
- If C), consider the European A4 paper size.  
TO:  Is this what the WAE uses for their downloaded certificate?  Can someone pse check that out?  
 
- Making your own from the web site is cheap and less meaningful.  
 
- We should have an extra award similar to CA wine, etc.
TO:  Very true.  This is overdue for the FQP.  Oranges would seem to be the appropriate item.  Anyone have an orange grove nearby that might donate 10 or more bags in return for publicity in our results or something?  
 
Also, based on the above voting, I will go ahead and reorder certificates to cover at least this yr.  In the meantime, we should be looking at ways of electronically generating certificates.  
 
TU all & 73, Dan

Folks - 

While the plaques are in the mail, the certificates are a little behind.  We have run out of certificate stock and are switching responsibility from WC4E who did a fantastic job with them in recent years, so we're at a crossroads.  

For those of you who have received certificates in recent years, a quick survey:

1)  The certificate design is:
  A)  Getting a little bit dated - please update the layout
  B)  Just fine - keep it going indefinitely 
  C)  So outdated that you should just offer a downloaded version and skip the 
"hard copy" altogether 
  D)  Other (fill in the blanks)

Please reply to me personally unless your comments are particularly entertaining!  

I'll tally the responses and announce our approach in the next few days.  

Thanks!  

73, Dan, K1TO
