It certainly doesn't make for a fair contest.

Perhaps the first question is whether 'Club Calls' should be a contest 
at all? Another option would be a non-competitive all-day get-together 
for club stations, more like JOTA. That would have the advantage of 
taking the pressure off, and giving less experienced operators much more 
chance to participate. (It would also save Paul a job :-)

If it is going to be a contest, then perhaps it should be scored by 
adding-up the total length of all the club names exchanged, i.e. 
received *plus* sent? Maybe I'm half-joking here... just not sure which 
half...
