[PaQSO] Spice it up???

[Al Zelna]

Group,

I would be curious to know if the NARC has ever pondered such a thing.  
What about simply changing the point value?  All CW contacts = 3 points 
and all SSB/FM contacts = 2 points.

It would make it easier for some category records to be broken, which in 
turn, may generate more interest.  Interest in breaking records and in 
defending them as well. 

Along those same lines, opening up the "1 point" value would make it easy 
to "insert" digital mode(s) such as PSK and/or RTTY.  This could be done 
immediately or over a multi-year period of change.  

I am sure some would rise to the occasion and question why PSK or RTTY 
were only valued at 1 point/contact.  Quite simply, if the change were to 
occur the defense could be explained as "the preservation of PQP's history 
and values with the addition of a progressive component".


Then again... I could be wrong; but I'll be back in 2003 regardless!
