[Cwo] Awards

[Peter Chamalian W1RM]

There is more of a challenge at lp/qrp.  With HP it's just guns blazing
until you run dry then move.  With Low Power/QRP it's more finesse - try
running, if it works great if not, s&p.  Move bands, etc.

 

How much ICOM is willing to invest could allow an expansion of the award
scheme.  The idea of Regions is great but I still like the idea of power
levels too.

So long as Icom keeps sponsoring CWO, the cost of plaques and trophies are
both zero... including mailing cost.

 

I'm not sure anyone can beat AA3B even if he were LP.    ;-)

Let's face it, HP is more fun.   (smirk)   I'm not real hot on the idea for
trophies for LP/QRP, although it doesn't hurt.  I do think that regional
trophies/plaques would be very positive in terms of internationalizing CWO.
Of course, that would have a significant effect on Icoms' cost. It should be
discussed with Icom.

I think we should revisit the award situation with regard to the trophies
and plaques.

 

As things stand now, the highest score (which will always be the high power
category) gets the trophy.  High score in each power level gets a plaque.

 

For combined, it's high score for all three sessions (which will always be
the high power category) gets the trophy, highest score at each power level
gets a plaque.

 

I don't know what the cost of the trophies vs. plaques is but it seems to me
that we are putting way too much emphasis on the high power category.  It
also makes the low power and QRP sections second class citizens in that they
only will get a plaque whereas the high power guy gets the trophy.

 

I would prefer to see equal awards for each category, regardless if they are
trophies or plaques.

 

Perhaps we give a plaque to the winners of each section and a trophy to the
overall total winner in each section.  Something to consider.
