I agree with you Tom.
And
&gt; All contest today in all subjects included Medicine They are rewarded with
&gt; cash money.
You right Pedro, but these guys are professionals, or they want to
be one of them. We are amateurs and our playing field is open to anyone.

Wow- IMHO most of the guys that are at the top in all the big contests
don't need
any more money (how else could one afford hundreds of thousands on antenna
farms?), and they're the same ones that will be at the top if there is
money to be won. So nothing would be different than it is now.
I think this idea would be a serious detraction from the sport of
radio contesting.

I would like to present my idea to the contest audience,my apologies if not
&gt; to their liking.
&gt; Everything in the world revolves around the awards and plaques. Why
&gt; not contemplate the chance to win cash prizes? in Best contests?.
&gt; All contest today in all subjects included Medicine They are rewarded with
&gt; cash money.
&gt; My proposal is related and focused to make our contest hobby a little more
&gt; interesting and serve to help those people who make their competition.
Also
&gt; help all big stations to renew and update stations.
&gt;
&gt; Approaches:
&gt;
&gt; 1.- Motivate those stations spent years doing contest, to repair and renew
&gt; equipments.
&gt; 2.- Motivate those stations spent years doing contest, make a new
&gt; investments.
&gt; 3.- Motivate all radio stations make special mounts for contest; all
&gt; hamradio stores trade would move to sell more equipments and pieces.
&gt; 4.- These stores in turn would be the sponsoring prize money of contests.
&gt; 5.- Owners of contest such CQ, will be asked to companies new
&gt; strategies and money sponsorships.
&gt; 6.- These competitions and Prizes will chosen and observed by ARRL and
&gt; IARU.
&gt;
&gt; Many people do not like the idea, many are conservative with hamradio, but
&gt; remember we are in 2016.
&gt; My apologies I love the radio equal when it started at age of 13 year.
&gt; Today Im 48 years old. And will continue doing what I like, hamradio
&gt; contests.
&gt;
&gt; I think as well as sponsoring expeditions, Why could also companies
selling
&gt; Hamradio products sponsoring cash money for best year contests.
&gt;
&gt; It is not unreasonable, think? . Let think for a while in detail.
&gt;
&gt; What do you thinking about?
&gt;
&gt; Note: My apologies for my English, hope understand my idea.
