Looks like one vote for keeping it the same to me.

What I find interesting is almost all the East Coast stations think it 
is great and a majority of people think it could be improved.

Upon further thought.  I think all Q's within the Continent should 
either count 1 or 0 for everyone.  I prefer the 1 point option.  I 
have some concern over the East coast stations getting 2 point lowband 
easy Q's.  Then again they have an advantage in almost every contest 
where DX is involved.
