As much as I love the Roundup, this and the lack of band multipliers are
it's primary failings, IMO.

Can't please everybody, I know, but as Shelby says, incentive really can
make a difference.  I'd like to see a RTTY contest where points are
awarded on distance between grid locators, similar to the Stew Perry
160m Challenge.  If I weren't so lazy, I'd do it myself.  :-)
