Here another suggestion that everyone will hate: How about one where the grid number is the number of points you receive for each contact ? I'm in EN52 and you should get 52 points for working me. Use s/p/c's as multipliers as everyone ends up with a pile of points ! Jerry N9AVY

FWIW, I like it... The Feld Hell Club (hellschreiber operating mode) has an award where you get points for the Grid Locator Number. The "00's" are scored as 100 points. If one digital club uses it, why can't another? 73 de Joe KJ8O PODXS 1244, FH 2912

Does this "level the playing field" ? Actually, I really don't think there is any such thing as a "level playing field" in ham radio because there are just too many variables in equipment, antennas and propagation. The only way that the playing fields could be leveled is if everyone was at the same station location. Jerry n9avy From: "Drew from Zhrodague drew@... [070]" <070@...> To: 070@...

Probably slept through significant decimal places. Since the old HP41 rounded at a much lower point; NASA got us to the moon with less precision, as do most of the commercial spreadsheets and CAD/ Finite Element Analysis Programs. In fact many round at 12places Oh by the way, but an interesting concept to ponder. Robert KD0FIP From: "'ljl2002@...' joe_molon@...

I think what he means is the guys like me in EN82 will generate pileups, but there will be little interest in the low numbered squares. Robert is welcome to work the contest from my house, if the CEO, er XYL approves it. 73 de JM
