Trent,
The first two words of my post were "Just imagine." It was a thought
experiment, nothing more.
I am old enough, just barely, to remember when the ARRL International DX
Competition had QSO quotas: six contacts per DXCC country (1960s). It was a DX
contest then, not a run contest.
It's always a thrill for me to work a VK, a ZL, or anybody that far away. I am
absolutely sure that I have never worked six VKs in a contest. Maybe you could
teach the code to some kangaroos and get them licensed.

Every change to a rule has an opposite reaction...
Offering USA multipliers to USA stations would mean you (USA) would
concentrate on a clean sweep and not chase DX - we have enough trouble getting
USA stations to point to VK in most contests without an added disincentive.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Please note I no longer use the WIA email address where possible owing to it
blocking emails from sites such as VK Logger and ARRL.
