Some other exceptions I would suggest would be for contests where Bill's
results placed him above his peers consistently, e.g., 400+ QSO's in the
Sprints, and for contests that he was passionately involved as
promoter/cheerleader (NAQP?), but limited to 6 contests per year (as an
example).
The best place, I believe, for Bill's callsign legacy, would be on a
club web page that gives the background for the club call.
Again, "First come, first serve," for requesters using the club call in
the same contest. This will eliminate (?) the politics and make the
trustee's job a "no brainer." ;)
