I actually thought the multi-location Bonus Station was kinda fun!
Some of us mail logs because we have so many of them...there have been years where I have had 40 (yes FORTY) separate logs to submit. It simply isn't practical to log using a computer when running a true mobile.
It looks like my logs got lost for the 2006 'test. It wasn't my best year, around 70k points or so...and there was no way that I was going to re-enter all of those logs again (not to mention the headaches for the guys entering them), so I just let it glide.
It doesn't bother me that I won't see certificates for the two counties that I won...I had fun during the contest, and that is all that matters.
I do think that digital should be limited to ONE mode, operator's choice. Give it a year or two, and the mode of choice will make itself clear.
I like one point for phone, two points for CW across the board. It makes comparison to earlier years more difficult, score-wise, but it makes scoring easier, and the records will be consistant going forward.
Hey, it's just a contest, and its supposed to be FUN !!!
