Plaques and trophies

Trust me, a smart, top-quality metal plaque, engraved with your callsign and details of your winning score, makes an eye-catching addition to any ham shack.  Two or more of them, all the more so!

The Oceania DX Contest plaques are highly sought-after, leading to intense competition for the top slots in every category that offers them (see above … and get in touch if you’d like to sponsor further plaques).
