What if we had a contest where, instead of streaming audio and video,
we had to submit our LOGS in real-time to the sponsor? Heck, the
results could be ready when the closing bell rang!
I think this could be a lot of fun, especially if it were
combined with a real-time scoreboard - one that included
all of the entries. Unfortunately, not everyone has
always-on, reliable, internet access, so this may not be
practical. Heck, I don't always have it...
When you bust a callsign, we can get some of those
wonderful sportscasters to do color commentary: "Well,
KD4D sure blew that one. A two qso penalty and a multiplier!
That's gonna hurt..." :-)
I think we need a NEW contest to try this with. This would
be a different game and I love the current one too much
to want to try this with, say, CQWW. But I think it might
be really exciting. Maybe we could try a short
contest - four hours or so just to see how it works.
