[PaQSO] ONE OTHER WAY TO SPICE UP THE SCORING IN PAQP

[MORSENUT@aol.com]

Well, it really should not take anywhere near 3 minutes to send a QTC if both 
OPs are decent operators and any operator can just send "NIL" to a QTC 
request anyway and just keep sending his CQ.

I fail to see how QTCs "slow things down" when, after all, a point is a point 
is a point, at least from the standpoint of the sending station.  

If your county is really that rare, then you can be sure that the stations 
really needing you will standy by while you QTC and they will have the 
benefit of listening to the QTC, a report that might tell them where another 
needed multiplier was last heard.  

As it is now, Sunday is a poor second to Saturday.  I spent most of the time 
Sunday just trying to find ANY PA station I had not already worked on any 
band...my computer beeping madly at me when I entered any of the heard 
callsigns as these were all dupes.  Sunday is therefore rather boring...and 
maybe having QTCs for Sunday only would add a little something to the 
scoring.  

Short of that or something similar and I thing PAQP should be Saturday only.

My 2 cents!    73
