If those of you who has been receiving RADIOSPORTING
journal in the past could remember, I was the first to
suggest to CQ160 contest to add grid squares as a
multiplier and a tool to count points.
This was may be 10 years ago when I was a TOP BAND editor
for that really fine journal ( thanks Yuri VE3BMV !!! It
was a great one especially for us behind the IRON CURTAIN
then).
I have been happy to see my idea implemented in Stew Perry
contest recently.
My opinion is still the same after so many years on this
matter - if possible we must change rules of CQ160 test in
this direction, if we really want our favourite one to be
relatively fair for almost every participant.
