There is a MUCH MORE SIMPLE way to kill half of the objections being made and that come around every year. Just have a default "own country and zone" double mult added for the first Q on each band. T

Randy's note well received for the current rules. I was mentioning that the change in the rules would be that easy. Ed CAUTION: The CQ WW log checking software ignores QSOs with your own call. I.e.,

Why are we beating up the CQWW contest? SS and NAQP are not fair either. Just advantage those outside W1 and W2 so somehow that makes it okay that they are unfair. Same propagation problems and the s
