Here's a list of the 1993 contests, with questionable accuracy-
there should be some correlation with those in 1994=

Subject: JARTS Scoring
Message-ID: <m0onvwS-0002cDC@comtch.iea.com>
The point scoring is 2 points for any QSO on your continent and 3
points for any QSO to another continent. QSO's to W stations are fine
and count 2 pts each. Mults are DXCC plus W0,W1,W2,etc. VK1,VK2, etc.
JA1, JE2, etc. and VE1, VE3, etc. But NO double mults so DXCC country
of United States, Canada, Japan, Australia don't count.

Subject: QST Author Makes Good
Message-ID: <9310160054.AA11088@us1rmc.bb.dec.com>
Back in the late 1950's there were two brothers, Joe, K2ITP and Hal, K2ITQ,
in Riverton, NJ. Together they built a competitive VHF contest station
with which, among other things, they set a record for QSO's and total score
in the 1958 VHF Sweepstakes. In fact, they were so successful that Joe
wrote and article for December 1958 QST entitled " Working Ionospheric
Scatter on 50 MHz." or "DX when the Band is Dead." Joe was 17 years old
at the time.
Fast forward to 1993. The news from Sweden is that the Nobel Prize
Committee has awarded the physics prize to two astrophysics reseachers for
their 1974 work with pulsars , using the Arecibo dish. The researchers
are Dr. Joseph Taylor, Jr. and his (then) graduate student, Russ Hulse.
Dr Joseph Taylor, now K1JT, is ex K2ITP. And he's happy to tell reporters
that it was his early interest in Amateur Radio that led him to a career
in physics.
By the way, the late Sam Harris, W1FZJ, past QST VHF columnist, and
Hank Cross, W1OOP, were among those on the Arecibo staff who assisted
with the 1974 experiments.
There is a picture of young Joe Taylor in April 1958 QST, page 66, in the
VHF contest results.
You know that guy who keeps whining that contesters are a blight on
humanity who never do anything worthwhile? Gee, maybe he's right....
