[PaQSO] Two questions

[ed.miske@kennametal.com]

Enjoying reading the comments on this subject.

WT3P, Kay's comment about generating pile ups is right on...no other
contest affords this opportunity to me to anywhere near the same degree.

2 points for ALL CW QSO's? Hmmmm....sounds interesting. Any more
thoughts/comments?

I think it was Jim, K8MR that mentioned working all 67 county's on SSB AND
CW to qualify for the sweep award, and as a new set of 67 mults also. Seems
we've generated so much activity that getting the sweep is a little on the
easy side now. I've been lucky enough to get the sweep 5 or 6  years
running...but seems I get it rather late in the contest each year. How
about "Worked all countys CW AND SSB", or maybe two separate awards (worked
all county CW and worked all countys SSB). A quick look at my log from last
year shows 56 cty's worked on CW and 63 on SSB, so I didn't get a sweep on
either mode separately. I think that would be fun to shoot for.

And as for the low/hi power distinction for portable operation, I agree
with N3FR's thoughts. And I'll have a separate reply on that subject.

Thanks all; really enjoying all the chatter.
