Les, You are a visionary! You have thought of what The
Boring Amateur Radio Club has put into action for The Stew Perry TopBand
DX Challenge
being held Dec. 17-18. A perusal of the easy to understand rules shows
that scoring is based on power and just how far your QSO was, based on
grid squares.
Other prescient rules give extra points to the station that works a QRP
station, because that receiving station does a major portion of the work
and should be
rewarded for that work. The rules for this great TopBand CW contest is
found at:

Enter into the fray and exchange grid squares with TopBanders
around the world and see/hear what the future feels like. The contest
is a lot of fun and a very
nice break from all the tomfoolery of the holidays.
73 and I remain,
