[CQ-Contest] Just one weekend

[Joe]

I'd go as far as still have a contest,

BUT  ala vintage say 70's at the latest. No net, no packet clusters, no 
computer logging,  a boy and his radio and his paper longs and dupe sheets.

I'd love to see what the scores would be like that way and if the usual 
top ten can remain  that way.

that would be very interesting to me.
