Don´t complain! Inside NA at least you get 2 points per QSO, inside
all other continents each QSO only gives 1 point.
Fair?, no not IMO. Since it´s a worldwide competition scoring rules
should be uniform.
This thing with 2 points in NA came about a long long time ago, the
purpose was to stimulate activity in the NA carribean area since at
that point (early 60:ties I think it was, think W2SKE was inventor)
activity was very low.
However that doesn´t apply anymore and we live nowdays in a totally
different world, IMO scoring should be the same in all continents.

1 point (or whatever number) per QSO for ALL QSO´s, yes I agree.

With this type of reasoning everything should just belong to one continent.
