A better solution to the "Ws not logging Ws" problem is education.
Contesters on this reflector will quickly pick up on the need to log
(and mark) dupes and same-country QSOs. But what about other participants?
A suggestion: The published rules be enhanced with a "Recommendations"
section. Here are two recommendations:
-- all contacts between stations in the same country should be logged, with
0 QSO points assigned.
-- all duplicate contacts should be logged and marked as such.
