How about the exchange would be,

Paul EI5DI is right about predictability: it's no fun to copy that.


A truly random four or five digit exchange would be a CW Op's delight. I wouldn't even oppose six digits.
Q: Why do we like WAE CW so much?

A: QTC? QRV!


Use distance based scoring (to mute that Atlantic Basin Bias thing that pops up here) i.s.o. multipliers and it would be a format hard to beat for the real CW Contest lover.
Five or six bands, 24h.


Kinda like RAEM end December. Except that in that one the LON/LAT info is only random for the first QSO.

The problem to introduce such a new contest today is:

A) To find an open slot on the jam packed contest calendar.

B ) To find a sponsor with enough leverage to make it work.

C) Get enough folks on the air to make it fun. If not, it's DOA.
