Duane and All,
I like the idea.
Only potential 'opportunity' that I see is, since the FD Exchange
is Class and Section, some 'less aware' participants may not know
their Grid Square. I would also propose that the band totals also
break out CW and Phone (and Digital?) as well.
All in favor of Duane 'chairing' this, say "Aye"!
73, JK
