     Throw a 160 CW test with enough participation to keep me awake 
and I'll come.
     But--what would these multipliers be?  If they are 4-character 
grid squares, a lot of us would be as rare as a P5.  Otherwise, 
calculating my own score will get extremely difficult based on just 
the callsign and grid square exchanged.
         Count me in whatever the case!
