IARU is an all-band contest, be a lot of topbanders on other bands for
score.
Four 24 hour Stew's a year is a good deal, at the equinoxes and the
soltices. Then you can forget the practice Stew. Also get into the
business that for spring, summer, fall there's only 24 hours to get logs
in after the contest, and results out on web as soon as the program runs.
No paper submissions. Certificates, etc from the December Stew only. Some
rewards from the cumulative of the four contest for the year?
