23% of my contacts in last weekend's CQWW RTTY contest were with my own
country. I worked ZF1A for 2 points and W0YK, who was twice as far away as
ZF, for 1 point. This is much better than zero points! CQWW RTTY is still
a DX contest however working everyone for points adds to the fun. I hope
that the rules do not change.

The CQ WW RTTY DX Contest rules include VE areas and US states as multipliers
in order to better balance the multiplier opportunity between European and NA
participants. In recent years about 3000 logs are received compared to
8000 on
CW.
