Wayne:
In keeping with a number of comments on the list there is something useful
that Elecraft could do. You might consider a "CW QSO Every day Award;" to
win the prize, the applicant must make a signed statement that he/she has
made a CW contact on 365 consecutive days. Instead of checking 365 QSL
cards, use the Honor System like ARRL does on QRP DXCC. There is not much
motivation to lie; the reason for bucking for the award would be to do
one's bit to keep the CW segments occupied. In fact, you might offer a
sweetened incentive by giving a plaque (perhaps at the applicants expense)
for anyone who does 30-plus minute daily CW ragchews for 365 consecutive
days. Maybe post the pictures of the winners on the Elecraft Web site or
some such thing.
73,
