And I for one second all your points Peter. I rather enjoy the BARTG time
exchanges because it is something unique to this contest. I also enjoy the
Makrothen contests because of the unique grid square exchanges. Again
something different that keeps us on the edge of the chair and fully
engaged.

3a. Stuff happens, everywhere in life. Yes, it is worsened with unique
exchanges like serial numbers and times. But, that is the trade-off for
having a more challenging exchange that tests our operating skill ... on
both sides of the QSO.
Thank you, Ed.
3b. I am very grateful to Simone and the good people in BARTG (and all
other contest sponsors) for their commitment and diligence in organizing
and
adjudicating the contest for us.
Seconded!
The BARTG HF Contest is not broken. Let's stop trying to fix it.
^^^^ Worth repeating. ^^^^
If someone thinks a contest is too hard or unfair, then they should --
and this is radical, I know -- choose not to participate. I don't
know other countries' regulations as well as the FCC's but in US rules
there are *no* requirements that operators participate in contests.
None. Not one.
