If the BARTG committee determines that the time portion of the BARTG 
exchange has become too problematic for its continued use in the 
contest, may I suggest replacing it with a code that indicates power and 
antenna type being used.  This could be as simple as <W100> for 100 
watts and a dipole, or <Y005> for 5 watts and a tribander, or <V075> for 
75 watts and a vertical.  This scheme could be made simpler with fewer 
power choices, or more complicated in many ways.  And it might require 
the operator to change the exchange if antenna type or power changed on 
different bands.   This is surely more useful information than the time 
stamp.
     Gee, we could even try real RST reports, but I don't think that 
would fly.
