[PaQSO] Puzzling

[n3xls@juno.com]

All of this is just suggestions. It's up to mike and the club to discuss and consider the suggestions.  I don't believe anyone's comments were directed as "the contest is broken fix it now". It's merely an attempt to suggest we may need to tweak the rules and offer more incentive to mobiles .  As n2cu said it doesn't change his mind because he will do it anyway. However a party like ours will not have success if we don't encourage mobiles and rovers moving around activating counties increasing the available  qsos.

Everyone is correct regardless of how you feel. The pqp it isn't broken. But we can all make it better and more exciting as a group. Because of we fail to express our concerns we may not have anything to be concerned about.

Shucky durn.  I for one really liked the PAQP.  I wish I had more time 
to devote to it last weekend.  Be of good cheer.  It's the nay sayers 
who usually write.

I'm sure we in Michigan would LOVE to have enough coverage to offer 
plaques for a "clean sweep."  A clean sweep hasn't been done in Michigan 
(according to the 2015 results) ever....
