Clayton,
I'm just getting on the air and joining the group but I have a great interest in your suggestions. I would encourage you to right the article for CC (I've been a subscriber for a decade or more) and if you'd like to have some read it before submission I'd be interested.
Watch for my signal, I have been into ZK / ZL territory every day since commissioning the transmitter on New Years Eve. I do not have a receiving station at the present time but there is likely a reciprocal path at the same time from your QTH. There are so many local transmitters in my area (15 QRSS 30m) that I'm told that there is a lot of QRM and a local grabber may be a big challenge.
Charlie Welch, N5CWW, and I had a conversation very much along these lines just the other night.
