The topic of distance-based scoring comes up consistently and many
contesters seem to be in favor of it, but somehow it never gains any
traction beyond the Stew Perry. I wonder how many contesters are
actually AGAINST distance-based scoring for major contests, and what
their reasons would be.

Distance scoring RULES.
A meaningful exchange, ie. Grid Square for base scoring.
Also, the band difficulty should be weighted for scoring which would
also encourage more activity on the lesser used 'edge' bands.
Also, the power levels should be weighted a la SPDC such that all
scores can have somewhat of a direct comparison. Awards would still
be by category, but scoring could be directly compared by HP to LP to
QRP.

Even more. It would encourage for example EUs to be more active on 10 m
during solar minimun to make as many intra-continent Qs as possible.
It would encourage SA stations also to make as many intra-continents
Qs on
160 and 80, bands that right now show a very little activity from this
part
of the world.
