I sure wouldn't mind seeing a "short hours" type of recognition. There
are some people who have contested for years that may not be physically
able any more.
With a severe heart problem, pending more surgery, I've not been able to
risk more than 15 or so hours in a contest lately. That still hasn't
stopped me from some decent scores for myself or giving out Q's to
friends.
800 Q's and a sweep in 12 hours of an SS may not seem like a super score
to some but when you look to join in some way it does become somewhat
rewarding for a restricted effort.
Those big Q totals have to come from somewhere, there just aren't enough
superstations and ops to grow with. The guy not afraid to avoid a
contest is still the future of any contesting for all of us.
