I do a lot of RTTY contesting. Moving the biggest CW and SSB DX contests
towards the RTTY model of in-country-QSO's-count-for-points is not a good
idea.

Most RTTY contests have always allowed in-country QSO's to count for points
to drum up the rates to a level to keep it interesting for the whole
period. If RTTY becomes substantially more popular then maybe in CQWW RTTY
they could put in-country Q's at zero points (I have heard at least one
RTTY contest director wonder out loud if his contest is reaching this
tipping point yet.)
