Hi,
It seems the gatekeeper of surveys doesnt let much through perhaps due to 
bandwidth or just plain bad ideas.

So.....
Here is a survey question or 2 for both groups.

I am working on a new vhf contest, this poll could be handy as well as any 
coments. What do you think of rating a stations qso points on the rarity of the 
grid they worked from or worked. Grid exchanges would be done with a 
multiplier at the end of the exchange. The highest multiplier would count for both 
stations. IE if New York City contacted Elko NV and Elko NV had a multiplier of 6 
it would be used for both stations. Then when NYC contacted another NYC 
station the multiplier would be 2 for both. (5 step 2-6 scale) 
Answer 1: Yes 
Answer 2: no 



Last one

What do you think of the idea of being able to work each station at a 
multi-op site seperately?  Ie you can work any ham who comes to the mic. Each station 
at the site would still be in the multi-op catagory, would do thier own 
logging bt would share (or we hope) thier equipment.  

yes
no

PS:
Some ideas have fermented over the last few months and maybe I will type up a 
third draft.  
Eric's bus and some of the other peoples opperating habbits came to mind too 
here.  Eric would be a multi-op rover if he had more than 3 hams using 
differn't calls.(IE the rove in) The time consumed with wsjt makes me consider the 
long contest.  A spring time meteor shower week would be good for cabin fevor or 
late summer for mountain topping.  

I may be the engine behind this but go ahead and give me coments and reasons 
to consider
