[CQ-Contest] Whither not just Africa

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

no! No! NO! Mark... you just need to create a desirable resettlement 
policy that will entice the world's contesters to move to your 
country(s)! Maybe give away parcels of land for free if the contester 
agrees to build a station and 'homestead' that property for 5 years or 
more. Kind of like what brought those hoards of Europeans over to North 
America 150 years ago!
