Hello Dale: I just emailed you directions on obtaining the 17 meter plate for your plaque. If you have any other concerns, please feel free to let me know. Take care. Sharon Taratula

Your best bet is probably to reach out to the DXCC Desk and ask them directly. Probably a good move since they've changed the plaques and medallions, and then even started sending different looking

Hmmm…..they still have the old form up there. Here is the current one (if the list allows attachments) ---- 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT

Thanks Mike—That form does not show the legacy plates though. I have seen once where they can be ordered, where I do not know. DXCC awards have disappeared from the store. The great “new” one
