PAQSO was started in 1957 when yours truly was a wee lad of three. MARAC
was organized in 1970.

What about the sections? Florida has NFL, SFL, WCF, California has a
gazillion sections. We have an award for all of them.

I won't implement RST it is a useless exchange. Serial number means

numbers can be enforced as a busted call.

Our exchange is and will be Call, serial, county or section.
