Mike, Kevin and any others who have even a little dog in the fight. Or just
want to bark on their own.
My thought is that the common format exchange is VERY useful for the QPs
that are scheduled on the same weekend, have more or less the same clientel,
and have the same objective. That makes a lot of sense to me.
If a particular QP is a "lone wolf" on a weekend by itself; or does not
overlap with another contest that a lot of people might be working
concurrently; then it really doesn't matter what the format of the exchange
is.
I don't care if there is a 599 (59) or serial number. BUT, there should be
a ~ common layout beyond the number.
IMHO the STATE or SECTION (logger accepts 2 or 3 letters) should come first,
followed by the COUNTY (ies) using an agreed upon format of 3 or 4 (MARAC)
letter abbreviations.
