Why not REALLY improve the contest by seriously considering remedying the ancient, unfair, archaic "points per QSO vs. your continent" nonsense. There are some things in the world, like the USA Elect

Distance-based is a great concept, but the true equalizer is the adoption of the CW Sprint QSY rule to a distance-based DX contest. Then no one gets to park themselves on a frequency for hours at a t

I find that the greatest value of SCP is not figuring out if whether it is N6, N7, or N8TR calling. It is when you've copied a call you think you have but about which you are not entirely certain. If

Another factor in deciding how often to ID is how smooth was the last qso. If it was just a quick report at 40 wpm (or the phone equivalent), one can stretch things a bit. If the other guy has correc
