[CQ-Contest] Establishing a contest within a contest

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

How much difference a decade makes!  Whenseveral of us suggested that we 
implement a CWAC to try out a 24-hour category within CQWW, Bob Cox 
angrily rejected the idea, saying that not a single QSO in a single CQWW 
log would ever be released.

How far we've come since! Now, if only the ARRL would adopt the open 
logs concept, followed perhaps by the Russians and Germans, we'd have an 
ample playing field for all sorts of experiments.

73, Pete N4ZR
