Listening carefully to the direct meaning of the words W O R L D W I D E. I
think it means all WORLD and does not matter which point of the
World. And I think each QSO ( I to I, I to W, W to W,PJ to W etc)
Should worth same points. Remember, We have multipliers in the
Contest. Therefore one will try to work those DX peditions(Contest
Expeditions in most cases) paying lot attention to them and there is
no any other special reason to increase their scores artificialy.
In many cases nearby QSO's to work requires more energy and higher
Contesting skill than Long distance QSO's.
First of all most of us are Contesters and looking to the sports side of the
Hobby. DX'er dont care about points, multipliers at all.
Therefore is not good idea to tell majority :you dont have chanse to win
because you live in the poor country while all 3 points locations are booked
long time ago, and all We need from you - please be meath
for our big arms .
I can not understand, why not to open more possibilities to other contest
deserving people.
