    The arguments Why would you want to fake an award you didn't earn? But what if you did earn it ... but don't want to pay ARRL $60 for 1 cert, or $80 for 2 certs (where the WAS cert is only $15). I do understand supporting something that you use ... So $20 maybe even $30 would be fine. But $60 for one and another 20 for the other one? eQSL is a periodic payment to help support the system ... and downloading award certs is free. Getting them printed or getting some WOOD (plaque) obviously costs more. But the ARRL prices I am seeing are just ridiculous. I should get a wood plaque with gold embossed - even cheap plated gold at that ... for $60.00.
