Re: [digitalradio] Digitalradio Number QSO Exchange?

[Jim Orcheson]

Andy,There are already organizations that provide such numbers. For example, the 070 club assigns numbers, has all sorts of awards, and contests for PSK. The Digital QSO Club assigns numbers for digital operators, etc. They do not have awards as such but more of an honor roll which is also open to non-members. In several months of operating, their total "membership" appears to be 32, so maybe digital operators are not that interested in acquiring yet another set of numbers. Perhaps it would be better if we supported an existing organization.Just a thought. If you go ahead, good luck with it. I
 will hold off for now. That is, I will not become number 0003, since I have not joined the other organizations yet either.73, Jim  VA3JNO              ----- Original Message -----        From: Andrew O'Brien         To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com        Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2006        6:42 AM       Subject: [digitalradio] Digitalradio       
 Number QSO Exchange?               Spinning off an idea I had in the previous thread (about a digital        30M net).  I wonder if members here would be interested in the        development of a Digitalradio Reflector  assigned number        system?  I could assign interested members of this reflector,  a        number that they could exchange with other members during digital        QSOs.  I'm thinking something like :" DRR number".   Maybe        something less so self-promoting (of this reflector) , perhaps a DME        number (Digital Modes Enthusiasts)  From these number exchanges we        could develop some awards , via certificates,  that would encourage        hams to try digital modes, especially the more experimental ones.  As        an example, 100 RTTY QSOs with DRR numbers might be a good accomplishment        but so would just 10 THROB or PAX QSOs . This number could also be part of     
   a contest exchange if we developed any future contests.                Stupid , or an idea with potential?  I would welcome comments        and also anyone interested in designing potenial awards certificates.-- Andy  K3UK                      No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG Free        Edition.Version: 7.1.375 / Virus Database: 268.1.0/269 - Release Date:        2/24/2006              Need a Digital mode QSO?
