- Wouldn't it be nice to have a prefix contest where all prefixes are created equal? Unfortunately, the CQ WPX contest has this ridiculous country bias where contacts in your own country are ZERO point

- Let me first say that I agree with N4KG 100%. NO Contest should have zero points for a contact. Everyone should be worth something even if it is only one point. If you want to make it better to work

- Except it should go back to the 30-hour format. Obviously this experiment of making it a 36 hour contest in order to promote more single-op DXpeditions has proven to be a bust. It's time to for the
