[PaQSO] Idea

[Goody K3NG]

 >But I don't think this needs to be, or ought to be, in the rules. How 
can one document it?

It's quite simple.  Count the number of times you let someone work a 
station on "your" frequency and multiply by 200 (limit of four times).

 > I sure am not going to write it down while driving around.

How do you keep track of the QSOs while you're mobile?

 >It also sounds like one big gun station could get the points by giving 
a frequency to another big gun buddy of his.

The bonus points would be for giving someone the opportunity to work an 
unworked county, not relinquishing the frequency.  And buddy-buddy 
pre-arranged requests would be considered unsportsmanlike.  If someone 
wants to cheat, it's easy to do, but then again there's other ways to 
cheat as well.

 >Such offers are of little value on CW.

Not if it's worth 200 points :-)

 >It does not happen in the big national/international contests. K3LR is 
not going to stand by to let me call the 5Z4 who just answered his CQ. 
Such is the nature of the contest beast, and we live with it.

All the more reason to reward someone with points.
