Hi Ev,
Great job! Your pdf draft looks great and is the kind of info that I
think most
contesters would like to see. I already like what ARRL is doing with the
on-line expanded contest results and this would add icing to the cake.
I am surprised that some participants chose not to share info. The "for
strategic reasons" is a crock. It makes you wonder what they are really trying
to hide!
I'd like to see an expansion of the breakdown to include q's made on eme,
ssb/cw,
fm and digital modes - this may help us in determining whether it would be
better to add
a new microwave band or add wsjt as a new mode to increase our scores.
Best of luck, I'd be happy to help your lobbying efforts.
73,
Ed K3DNE
