YB Land DX Club donor Plakat CQWPX SSB

YB0NDT Karsono Suyanto

Saya yakin setiap DXer pasti mengetahui CQWPX SSB Contest, salah satu world class contest yang di selenggarakan oleh CQ Magazines setiap tahun bulan Maret minggu terakhir.

Di tahun 2012 ada penambahan penghargaan plakat untuk kategori Single Operator All Band Low Power Oceania Leader. Yups Plakat tersebut saya donasikan atas nama YB Land DX Club.

Pada artikel ini saya menceritakan kronologis dari awal menanyakan plakat sampai di setujuinya plakat YB Land DX Club.

Pertama-tama saya meminta bantuan OM Yoyok YBØECT untuk menghubungi OM Doug Grant K1DG (CQWPX Plaque Mgr). Saya menginginkan plakat tersebut di donorkan untuk kategori Multi Two Oceania Leader. Tetapi OM Yoyok mendapatkan jawaban sbb:

Hello,Pri -

Thank you for your question regarding WPX SSB plaque sponsorship.
I researched the activity in the Multi-Two category for Oceania.
It appears that there are only 2 - 5 entries per year in this
category/region. We only award plaques for categories that have at
least 25 entries, so I am afraid that this category may not be
suitable for a plaque.
I see that YE0X has the highest score in this category for 2011 in the
claimed scores (before checking). When the official results are
printed, if you would like to have a special plaque made, we can do
that. The cost is USD50, and can be paid by PayPal.

Doug K1DG
CQ WPX Plaque manager

Waduh, ternyata alasan OM Doug adalah sedikitnya station yang bertarung pada kategori multi two oceania. Plakat hanya di berikan apabila minimal ada 25 station yang bertarung pada satu kategori.

Akhirnya saya berdiskusi dengan OM Yoyok, dia menyarankan bagaimana kalau plakat di berikan untuk kategori Single Operator Low Power 15m Indonesia Country Winner. Saya setuju, lalu saya balas email Doug sebagai beikut:

Dear Om Doug...

Follow up this email, YB Land DX Club will donate a plaque for the category Single operator 15m band low power for Indonesia Country Winner , can it be ??? If you do not agree to that category then YB Land DX Club will donate a plaque for Category Multi Two Winner for OCEANIA LEADER.
YB Land DX Club will donate the plaque for 5 years starting from 2012 until 2016.
Me and all of my friends (YB Land DX Club) waiting for your answer. For Payment, I will transfer via paypal.

Regards:
Karsono Suyanto (YB0NDT) member of YB Land DX Club.

Saya masih usahakan juga untuk bisa di kabulkan untuk kategori Multi Two Oceania Leader, tetapi OM Doug membalas sbb:

Hello, Karsono -

I reviewed the proposed category (SOLP15 YB), and there are only 4 entries in that category in 2011. We cannot offer a plaque for such a small category. Multi-Two Oceania is also a very small category...only two entries in 2010.
I suggest that your group sponsor a plaque for Oceania Single-Operator Low Power High Score. There is now a plaque for Oceania Single Operator High Score, but that will usually be a high power entry, and we will change that to a High Power plaque.
There are lots of entries in Single-Operator Low Power from Oceania, and I think this would be a very good plaque category. There were 58 entries in this category/region in 2010.
If this is acceptable, you can pay for the plaque sponsorship via PayPal to
wpxplaques@gmail.com
As I mentioned before, the cost is USD50 per year.

Pada email ini sekali lagi OM Doug K1DG menolak bila YBDXC mendonorkan plakat untuk kategori Multi Two Oceania Leader dan Indonesia Country Winner Single Operator 15m Low Power.

OM Doug mengusulkan agar YBDXC mendonorkan plakat untuk kategori Single Operator All Band Low Power Oceania Leader.

Tetapi OM Yoyok masih memperjuangkan agar bisa di usahakan plakat YBDXC untuk Single operator 15m low power Indonesia Country Winner… Inilah emailnya OM Yoyok:

Hi Doug,

I think that SOSB LP 15m is good enough for Indonesian Plaque sponsored by YBDx Club.
That would be motivate for all indonesian operators on 15m LP. I guarantie that will be manymore entries for indonesian on 15m.
I know that so many indonesian oprs would glad to receive a plaque in SOSB 15m LP hi score Sponsored by our club.
How's that Doug ? If you agree I would mention to our club to transfer fee for 5 years

73 for now,
DE Pri YBOECT

Mau tahu jawaban OM Doug ??? Inilah emailnya berikut data-data contester Indonesia yang berpartisipasi dari pada kategori Single Operator !5m Low Power.

Hello, Pri and Karsono -
Here is the data for Indonesian entries in WPX SSB SOLP15M for the past 12 years:

2011: 4
2010: 10
2009: 4
2008: 10
2007: 5
2006: 10
2005: 4
2004: 2
2003: 4
2002: 1
2001: 2
2000: 5
This category is too small for a plaque. The winner of YB SOLP15 will receive a certificate, and that is enough.
We only offer plaques for categories/regions with at least 25 entries. For your information, there were about 5000 entries in the 2011 CQWPX SSB contest. Only 66 of those entrants will receive a plaque...about 1.3% of all entrants. Some categories have hundreds of entries and a plaque should recognize a major accomplishment with a lot of competition.
I strongly suggest that you consider sponsoring a Single-Op Low Power plaque for Oceania before someone else chooses to sponsor it.

Doug K1DG

Jika sudah begini saya cepat-cepat hubungi OM Imam YB4IR dan OM Hans YB2DX, bagaimana baiknya, sambil menunggu jawaban dari Om Imam dan Om Hans, OM Yoyok menjawab email OM Dough sbb:

OK Doug,

Thanks for emailed, I would forward this email to our club and we will tell you later on if we will accept and donate for a plaque for SOAB LP or not.

Thanks alot once again.

73 DX,
de Pri, YB0ECT

OM Hans saya telpon, saya ceritakan semuanya, dan setelah membaca alasan-alasan dari OM Doug akhirnya OM Hans setuju jika YBDXC mendonorkan plakat pada kategori Single Operator All Band Low Power for Oceania Leader.

OM Imam saya hubungi via Blackberry. Satu pertanyaan OM Imam kepada saya adalah:

• Apakah plakat itu tetap di donorkan untuk continent Oceania, mengapa tidak ke continent lain?

Saya menjawab: Di donorkan untuk continent Oceania dengan harapan contester-contester dari YB Land dan semoga mereka juga member YBDXC bertarung untuk memperebutkan plakat itu. Jika di donorkan untuk continent lain maka mustahil contester-contester dari YB Land bisa mendapatkannya.

Akhirnya Om Imam setuju. Saya sangat senang sekali telah mendapatkan restu dari Om Imam dan om Hans.

Setelah itu saya kirimkan email lagi kepada OM Doug :

Dear Om Doug

We have discussed donation plaque to CQWPX SSB 2012. Our Club President Mr. Imam Raharjo YB4IR agreed to donate a plaque for Single Operator All Band Low Power (OCEANIA LEADER).
About payment, I will send the latest on Monday (Nov 21st 2011) via paypal. And We want our club " YB Land DX Club " written on the plaque as a donor .
Starting from 2012 untill 2016 (5 years)

Thank You Very Much

Regards:
Karsono Suyanto - YB0NDT (member of YB Land DX Club)

YEEESSSSS!!!!!! Betapa bahagianya saya… Saya tidak bisa melukiskan kebahagiaan saya dengan kata-kata. Akhirnya nama YB Land DX Club bisa bertengger di website nya CQWPX sebagai donatur plakat. Dan inilah plakat pertama dari YB Land untuk world class contest.

YB Land Dx Club akan menjadi donatur plakat selama 5 tahun terhitung mulai tahun 2012 sampai dengan 2016.

Keberhasilan ini tentunya berkat dukungan dari OM Yoyok YBØECT, OM Imam YB4IR, OM Hans YB2DX, seluruh pengurus YBDXC dan juga semua member YBDXC yang turut mendoakan.

Beberapa hari kemudian saya buka http://www.cqwpx.com/plaques.htm ternyata nama YB Land Dx Club sudah tercantum di website tersebut.

Saya berharap semoga plakat ini bisa di dapat oleh contester-contester terbaik Indonesia setelah bertarung dengan contester-contester dari continent oceania lainnya. Saya yakin pasti bisa.

Terakhir, tidak lupa juga saya sertakan foto/gambar contoh plakat CQWPX Contest. Semoga plakat ini bisa terpampang di ruang hamshack nya salah satu contester terbaik YB Land dan semoga saja tentunya member YBDXC juga.
