[Hans Brakob]

Charging an entry fee, or perhaps soliciting donations from Amateur radio contestants is not an idea which should be tossed aside lightly.

It should be hurled aside with great force.

There few enough new contesters as it stands right now.  Can you imagine the depressing effect that an entry fee would have on this already-dismal situation, let alone how many current casual entrants would lose interest!

As for supporting the CQ contest, how about if they charged an entry
fee? I'd gladly pay that to support the best contests of the year. Or
maybe only charge for entries that are likely to place top ten. Or just
request a donation with your entry?
