Would anyone be interested in a warmup to the January VHF SS, with a twist?

I've been asked to find out if there would be enough interest in running a 
4-hour sprint-style VHF contest with DX-ZONE based scoring (similar to the Stu 
Perry Top Band DX Challenge that is running this weekend).  With a decidedly 
VHF twist to the "zones"...

QSO's made to less than 100km = 1 point
QSO's made out to 200km = 2 points
QSO's made out to 300km = 3 points
QSO's made out to 400km = 4 points
...
QSO's made out to 10000km = 200 points
You get the idea.

No EME or satellite.

A free windows-based logging software system would be made available to 
calculate scores for you (and it would include an Internet component to display 
results against competitors in realtime as a scoreboard).

PLEASE RELPY DIRECT.

What is "enough" interest?  50 positive replies (without commitment to actually 
do it -- how easy is that!), which should be a good gauge given that this 
e-mail is going to over 1,000 vhf-interested hams.

PLEASE REPLY DIRECT

Thanks!
Ev, W2EV

PS: there aren't any particulars yet...this is just a general inquiry.

PPS: PLEASE REPLY DIRECT :)
