Count me in on this one! I volunteer to do log checking or whatever
TARA would like me to help with.

First however, is choice of contest format. I would recommend using an
already-existing contest as the foundation so no new software would be
required. The Makrothen comes to mind, since it is already a RTTY
contest. It uses distance between grid squares, as I understand the
Stew Perry does for CW. It does have a multiplication factor for low
bands which might have to be overcome, but it's a nice format.

Other suggestions?
