Do like some of the VHF contests: Signal report is meaningless. Countries are
(according to some) something left over from the dirty past. Exchange is
simply your 6 digit grid square. Number of contacts don't count. I remember in
one VHF contest (which happened to be the night of a radio club meeting) where
the mic got passed around the group. With modern computers it should be easy
to just compute the distance of each contact and add them up. Guy with the
most miles (kilometers) wins. It would make site selection a real science in
picking where to go for the dxpedetion. Oh yes, the grid would show the
country, state, etc. so getting data for WAZ, DXCC, WAS, etc. is also a snap.
