I suggest we "level the playing field, once and for all"... that is take
all the scores reported and add them up. Next, divide by the number of
participants. Then credit each contester with their share of the score.
It's about time we make these contests fair, equitable, and fun for
everyone!
What, you say you didn't get on for the contest. You had to work? You
didn't have a kitchen pass? The dog was sick? No problemo Keemosabi...
just turn in your log with 0 QSOs. Everyone understands that sometimes
life gets in the way of contesting. No need to fret over it anymore!
