Mal,

Since you're the fount of all knowledge on what constitutes a proper LF QSO why don't you offer an award of your own? Transatlantic has been pre-empted so it would have to be for the BIG one - Europe or USA to Australia/NZ. With proper conditions like :

1.      Only Morse at 25 wpm to be used.
2.      Transmitters and antennas to be designed and built solely by the operator himself. Any outside help like using ready-mix concrete for the mast footings to cause instant disqualification.
3.      The use of anything involving digits or computers totally barred. To include receivers with digital readouts.
4.      Full information exchange must include what the weather's like; what the kids have been up to; the incompetency and idiocy of practically all other amateurs; etc, etc. The usual stuff.
5.      No time limit on length of QSO; in fact, extra marks if it goes on for several hours.

Of course, you'd have to offer a decent prize. Say, £10,000 for a minimum one-minute contact rising to £100,000 for one lasting several hours. Come to think of it, you could make that £1,000,000 - it would be safe enough.

Unfortunately you would be debarred from winning your own award but that's life.
