At the moment I believe it is more likely that poor Field Day operators will
never find out their operating is poor.
Since, for the most part operating accuracy can be measured nowadays, I
would like to see a "Top-Ten Accuracy Box" or some such thing. I would like
to see accuracy recognized, valued and rewarded as part of Field Day.
NOTE that I am not saying that all the stations with 25% error rates should
be embarrassed in print. I'm only saying the best should get kudos. And
maybe a real nice trophy for the club display case (or whatever).
If done in just the right way, it could become "cool" to get the call right.
That would seem like a successful emergency communications exercise to me.
