| Given this thread, and the talk about the challenge of maintaining an online 
database of contest stations, an idea just occurred to me: 
What about a station-building/station-design contest?   Entrants would enter by 
sending photos or a video and a writeup describing station layout, cabling, 
antenna setup, etc. to be judged by a panel of (non-entrant) experts.
Judging criteria and entry classifications would need to be worked out, of 
course.
But it would be one way to address the concerns/interests of those who think 
station-building is an underrepresented skill in contesting, as well as 
providing plenty of eye-candy for little guys like me to oogle.
