Bill, this is similar to what we did in the CQWW a couple years ago with the
Boring Amateur Radio Club.  Absolutely it has the potential to be a fun
category.  We had to enter as a check log, but Tree and I, et al, wrote an
article about it in the NCJ (I think - I don't remember for sure - my brain cell
is partially detached).  It was a HOOT.  My only concern would be, of course,
the usual caveat about diluting the other categories.  If it increased activity
it would be a good thing.  I'm not certain it would do that.

Networking the stations was very interesting.
