If the BARTG committee determines that the time portion of the BARTG
exchange has become too problematic for its continued use in the
contest, may I suggest replacing it with a code that indicates power and
antenna type being used. This could be as simple as <W100> for 100
watts and a dipole, or <Y005> for 5 watts and a tribander, or <V075> for
75 watts and a vertical. This scheme could be made simpler with fewer
power choices, or more complicated in many ways. And it might require
the operator to change the exchange if antenna type or power changed on
different bands. This is surely more useful information than the time
stamp.
Gee, we could even try real RST reports, but I don't think that
would fly.
