[RTTY] 160

[Tom Osborne]

HI Don

Have to respectfully disagree on some of these.

1.  Report - Callsign, name, grid, State (I guess we could include county, 
too, if there is enough interest.  That is (more than) enough data to ensure 
we had a real QSO on a tough band.

Think callsign and grid would work.  Too much info might make it tough on 
160.

2.  Scoring - 1 point per QSO in same DXCC entity, 2 points per QSO in same 
continent, 3 points per QSO in another continent.  This surely needs some of 
our brighter minds to toss around.

Be nice for the east coast.  It's closer from there to Europe than it is 
from Oregon to Florida.  Think points for grid squares would be better.

2.  Operate for 24 hours, no limits on time spent on the air.  This gives 
everyone around the world at least one night time period.
_________________________________________________
Have to think about this one.  Depends on when it would start or end.

3.  No limits on power, but have at least two categories, HP (>200W) and LP 
(< 200W).

Good idea.

4.  Given the probable paucity of participants, we might want to consider 
permitting re-working contacts after some period of time has passed.  This 
needs some thought by our "great thinkers."  Remember, we are trying to 
encourage RTTY action on 160M.

Do you mean like the Sprints where you can work a station after so many 
dupes, or a time period.   Interesting concept.  73
