Hi,
The only thing I would suggest for any contest is the inclusion of a unique
identifier for each QSO. A serial number, an honest signal report or
something that cannot be assumed gives the contester a little more of a
challenge to get the info correct. Simply knowing that I'm in zone 5 for the
CQWW, for example, all you need is my call and sometimes you can get that
from other stations calling me. SS takes it a bit farther with the serial
and check but even that can be derived beforehand. If each QSO had something
that was not able to be known before the contact was made, the importance of
confirming the contact is made all the greater.
My 2 cents CDN (1.7 cents US)
