> Tonight my XYL and I watched a very long special on the Food Channel. It
had nothing to do with cooking but was about the great lengths people go to
win various national/regional BBQ competitions. My mind kept wandering to
comparisons between them and contesters. Some of the folks had very
expensive setups with a lot of time and money spent to win. The difference
between us and them is they get real prizes for winning not just atta-boy
certificates. The first 5 places in every category got cash prizes and
trophies. Places from 5-10 got atta-boy certificates.
> I think our hobby could/would and should support a domestic competition,
at least once a year, similar to an NAQP. Yes it would require a small
entry fee and any and all other costs would be offset by equipment
manufacturers, for promotional consideration. A computer program similar to
LOTW could be used to verify all logs. If a guy didn't want to pay the
entry fee he could/should still submit his log for honorable mention.
> Right now we pay for meaningful stuff like 'SWEEP' mugs, DXCC WAS etc
certificates why not have a special contest and win real prizes.
