What difference does it matter who paid for the station?? Presumably you're concerned about some station owner having deeper pockets than you have, but I can't imagine the can of worms that you'd be opening if you tried to tier results by how much somebody paid for their station since that concern would have nothing to do with who actually paid for it. Hams who contest from their own stations range from those who are unemployed to retired millionaires.

My email client flagged your post as junk mail, by the way. Software keeps getting smarter and smarter ...

In the spirit of transparency, I'd like to suggest a new category: Non Owner Operated Station.

This would include those doing contests from RHR and similar websites.

This way, I'd know if I'm competing against Amateurs, or Corporate stations, or, at very least, against stations where the sweat equity and $$ was provided by someone other than the op.

Respectfully submitted,
