Rudy, with all due respect, IMHO making the exchange more difficult only discourages the "casual" participants, especially those that will send in a log?
Those that don't send in their log, couldn't care less. Case in point: My CW is mediocre, at best, but I still get on during SSCW, just to give out some points. I know what I should be sending, as the exchange, but couldn't care less what they send to me, as I have no intention of submitting a log.

C'ya, Shelby

As I don't have an iPhone, nor an iPad, sent from my PC

1) Serial number2) Serial number plus the serial number of the previous QSO3) Grid locator plus the grid locator of the previous QSO
The exchange should be something that cannot be pre-populated in a history file.
