This would be a welcome change if true, however I think Rick is right.
This is primarily a domestic contest, and KH2 counts the same as a KH6 -
Pacific Section - even though Guam is 3,800 miles west of Hawaii
(greater than the distance between NYC and LAX). This really makes it
pointless to participate from my standpoint, unless I get on to hand out
an easy QSO to the 20-some JAs who are active in this contest.
ARRL 160 is really a great contest - from North America. Elsewhere,
CQ160 and the SP are king.
