Hans, you've been spending too much time on the cq contest list. 8^) I've found my outlook improved a lot since I left them behind. When a Ham is spending time in that group, there are "cheaters" behind every tree. I can do without the paranoia. I think their motto is: 

"Everyone cheats except thee and me - and I'm not too sure about thee".

When in fact, my own experience is that almost all Hams are pretty darn scrupulously honest.

Anyhow, your idea is sound. Is this CW or mixed modes?
