             I am sure a number of senior contesters will remember a 
list that

                 was in NCJ ( If my memory is correct ) , where stations 
published there

                     desire to offer their stations to interested hams.  
I myself took up

             VE3RM's  (sk) offer twice to operate his station in two

                 contest.  One ARRL DX and one CQ WW CW.  A fine friend 
was made.

                 Over the years I have thought about that list  a number 
of times.  I

                     certainly do not have a big gun station, but it is 
not bad, and a

             little more than average.  I really would like to offer the 
opportunity

                 to a youth or someone that has less.  Is there a way to 
bring back this

                     list ?  I believe many long time contesters would 
love to give something

             back to Hamradio.  It seems like a win win situation. I 
know there must

                 be  others besides me that think this way.   This is 
something that

                     doesn't have to be just for contesters.   Any 
suggestions ?
