I'm not an ARRL basher, not after being a member for 42 years. But the cost of the DXCC Challenge Award plaque is, in opinion, high at $97. Yes, I know nice looking plaques are expensive. I deal with some of those same issues in my day job. But maybe if I knew what one of these plaques looked like, I would feel better about the cost and would be more apt to get the award.
How about posting some pix of these plaques and awards on the website? And if they're already there, I apologize but I haven't found them.
