How about... we offer an award to anyone who works some number (say,
ten?) of different HQ stations? Working W1AW on ten band-modes wouldn't
do it, you'd have to work ten different societies. This would
simultaneously offer an award most HF operators could achieve with
reasonable effort *and* encourage those who get on to work their
country's HQ station to also work other HQ operations.
