[CQ-Contest] RE: Meaningful Contest Exchange

[Alfred J. Frugoli (KE1FO)]

I actually think Eric's idea might be the best one I've heard, sending the exchange from the last station you worked.  Everyone could start off using their postal code (everyone in the world has one, don't they?) or some other random 5 digit number they select, and then this would flow through the contest.  I like the idea - challenge and simplicity for those who are just "casual" operators!
