Hi Bill
What is the reason for eliminating country to country contacts? Are you
afraid it would turn into a domestic SS type contest? Just curious. I
always thought the idea of a contest it to work as many guys as possible in
a given time. If we would give a point for country to country QSO's, it
sure would be a lot more interesting for the little guys on the lower bands
(like me) who can't run Eu. on 80 and 40 at night.
IMHO 73
