Wow! That would be really nice. Now if we could get them to post other
information to the BBS regarding a contest, such as valid callsigns worked on
each band in a contest. A valid callsign being one that shows up in at least
5 to 10 logs. I would love to write a program that would crunch that
information against my log. Maybe compare it with other single-ops.
Now if we could get CQWW to follow... Too bad Bob Cox has two jobs!

I see everyone talking about the regional boxes and the layout. Has any
body noticed the PLAQUES that were NOT sponsored. Well I challenge that
we as a group do what we can to see that ALL of the plaques are
sponsored. Wouldn't it be a shame to win and receive nothing.
Especially when it may have been your best effort.
To start the ball rolling, my wife and I will sponsor Canada, Low Power
Phone. I talked Carl, AH8I into sponsoring Canada, Multioperator CW.
As a added incentive to the clubs, River City Contestors will sponsor
Canada, High Power CW.
Now I am not a part of the ARRL as far as contesting or DX goes, but I
am concerned that we as contestors should do what we can to see that the
plaques and/or awards in our favorite contest are covered. Perhaps you
can't sponsor one yourself, but maybe your club or a friend can go in on
one.
Think about it.
