< Again, contest rules are not set in stone. Just about all major contests
have evolved over the years, including WPX, SS , ARRL 10 Meter, and ARRL DX.
Maybe it's time to tweak WW too. DX originally meant distance. A 3000 mile
QSO
to W6 or W7 is a hell of a lot more distant for me than CO or C6. The first
counts zero, but the second two points. Adjusting that should be a
considered
by the sponsor.

I would have liked to work a zone 3 zero-pointer on 10 meters. Tried very hard
- no dice. Multiplier lost. CQWW contesters are usually pretty good about
giving a zero - pointer QSO, presuming perhaps someone needed the zone. If I
have to make such a contact, I usually wait until things are settling down, and
I can catch someone "running" a no QSO period. Acts of kindness ought to be
rewarded ! Perhaps a limit of 20 one -poimters here would be fair. That
shouldn't upset the scoring too much.
