[PaQSO] Alternate PA QSO Idea

[Jim]

I have a neat idea to consider.  How about we take a
page from the VHF sprint contests and modify it
slightly?  I like some of the other ideas expressed,
but they seem to be getting seriously complex.  This
would be easier and I think more fun.

I propose that we have several different contests. 
Pick either a Saturday or Sunday(we can take a
consensus.)  Have ONLY one band permitted.  Only ONE
mode permitted for that sprint.  You see, all people
will be on at the same time, on the same band, on the
same mode!  Have the same rules and scoring of the
QSO.  Example:

Contest 1 is 160m CW from 6-10 PM on a Sat or Sun

Contest 2 is 160m SSB from 6-10 PM on a different
weekend

Contest 3 is 80m CW 6-10PM

Contest 4 is 80m SSB 6-10PM

Contest 5 is 40m CW 6-10

Contest 6 is 40m SSB 6-10

This can keep continuing as far as you like. Not sure
if the higher bands would be too good, since you would
pretty much be working out of state/country all the
time.  So if we had 160, 80, and 40 and did this
properly, there would be 6 separate weekends of
contests.  No operator fatigue either!  This would be
wild.  Like total mayhem for four hours!  These are a
blast.  Can you work 67 counties in 4 hours?  

Any takers to this idea?  Can be called PA sprints.
