Eric, K3NA, suggests passing names around as part of a contest exchange. Seems
to me everyone will become Ed for the contest. "... ur 5NNED" "QSL ur 5NNED".
On the dark side, this kind of name exchanging could lead to the spread
of an insideous virus. Can't happen? Who would have thought five years ago
that a computer could catch a virus? Maybe an uncommon name such as Filbert
could trigger a dormant mole virus. When that name is entered into the contest
log the virus would go through and quietly corrupt your log; unknown to you
until you find your call listed in the "disqualified" column in the results.
[BTW, The above is tongue-in-cheek]
Here's another contest idea that you'll never see: In the first 24 hours work
as many stations as you can, for a point apiece. In the second 24 hours work
as many of the stations you worked the first 24 hours, for 5 points apiece!
That is, you intentionally work dupes. If its not a dupe, only one point.
This would certainly encourage people to work both days of the contest.
