[CQ-Contest] What if we had real-time LOGGING?

[Mark Bailey]

What if we had a contest where, instead of streaming audio and video,
we had to submit our LOGS in real-time to the sponsor?  Heck, the
results could be ready when the closing bell rang!

I think this could be a lot of fun, especially if it were
combined with a real-time scoreboard - one that included
all of the entries.  Unfortunately, not everyone has
always-on, reliable, internet access, so this may not be
practical.  Heck, I don't always have it...

When you bust a callsign, we can get some of those
wonderful sportscasters to do color commentary:  "Well,
KD4D sure blew that one.  A two qso penalty and a multiplier!
That's gonna hurt..." :-)

I think we need a NEW contest to try this with.  This would
be a different game and I love the current one too much
to want to try this with, say, CQWW.  But I think it might
be really exciting.  Maybe we could try a short
contest - four hours or so just to see how it works.

73,

Mark, KD4D
