I like this proposal among others:
<< 4. On-site inspectors, very much like WRTC. >>
IF This would happen - we would be amazed of shrinking results of those
"QRP" and LP champions, tens times lower. To run at 130 Q's plus per hour
within 48 hours with 5 watts output in any major Contest... nice joke
But, this will never take place, I bet...
