He also awarded 'points' for SWL reports, including best-sounding audio and so on. Nothing you can do to garner those points beyond having a strong, pleasant sounding signal on the air, heard and reported by many. He's been pretty insistent about it being a 'rally' vs contest, with the WINNER being more like a 'best of show'. It's true that you'll always have a few who will trample you to get there first, but I don't think that was Bill's intention. For further clarification though, I'd suggest looking up some of his posts on the subject on amfone.net, Ken. > I admit to being an old guy, but it sounds like a contest to me. 's ok. I won't tell if you don't.
