From a "little pistol in DX (=non-US)" point of view the relation between expense and reward is not yet too promising. How many do really like to send copies of official documents like driver licence
In those sporting events all participants go the same distance. So perhaps it would be a helpful start to note our much varying "distances" by simply adding the operation time to the results - and wi

Once again: is there any problem with publishing the individual operation times in the score lists (without changing anything in maximum duration or categories)? IMHO it takes nothing away from anyon
Hello, half-distances should stimulate additional activity from those formerly below the thresold and prevent cannibalizing activity from those formerly operating longer than the thresold to invent.
IMHO the comparison between power- and cluster-categories is perfectly valid. One of the standard arguments for abolishong unassisted-categories is "Cheating with cluster/packet cannot be proven". Th

Which contests are publishing the logs together with the results? I know of the EU-sprint, but perhaps there are more. Thanks in advance for any hints. 73, Chris (www.dl8mbs.de) _____________________
