But if you take 2 at the first airport and then stop a 3 more airports then you've only been to four airports.

Yeah, I was counting the departure airport as one which probably isn't right.

Whatever the format, I'm sure it would be a blast!!!

I'd be happy to run the tracking aspect of this as required. I have no issues sitting around drinking coffee all day and putting entries into a spreadsheet.

That would be great! It probably would get a bit boring handing out cards and keeping track of them, so if we end up doing this and you end up volunteering, let me be the first to say THANKS!

Perhaps PE would be ok using the discreet 123.45 frequency to hand out the cards?

Yep, that would be fine, except it's non-trivial for one pilot to be reachable on all those frequencies from all the airports at once. 123.45 is still range-limited by altitude.
Teamspeak might be a better alternative, which simulates you hopping out of the airplane and going to the FBO to speak with someone
There is a tool we could use to allow a single pilot to transmit to everyone in the voice room regardless of distance, but I'd rather not have to train someone on how to use it. It's a debugging tool that wasn't meant to see the light of day. TS or IRC would the better approach for now.
