I think it is a step in the right direction. Has anyone done a comparison of logs based on the current scoring and then converting it to distance based. What difference would it make in your scores. Would it change the scores of the top competitors. If the answer is yes to that question you may have your answer to why this is not being accepted or talked about.

Those at the top like it there.

The topic of distance-based scoring comes up consistently and many contesters seem to be in favor of it, but somehow it never gains any traction beyond the Stew Perry. I wonder how many contesters are actually AGAINST distance-based scoring for major contests, and what their reasons would be.

Distance scoring RULES.

A meaningful exchange, ie. Grid Square for base scoring.

Also, the band difficulty should be weighted for scoring which would also encourage more activity on the lesser used 'edge' bands.

Also, the power levels should be weighted a la SPDC such that all scores can have somewhat of a direct comparison. Awards would still be by category, but scoring could be directly compared by HP to LP to QRP.

Even more. It would encourage for example EUs to be more active on 10 m
during solar minimun to make as many intra-continent Qs as possible.
It would encourage SA stations also to make as many intra-continents Qs on 160 and 80, bands that right now show a very little activity from this part
of the world.
