  QSL on zero points no good in WPX!

  Now is the time to modify the rules for WPX contests. We are at the
  bottom of
  the sunspot (record) cycle. If scoring system is adjusted in such
  way that
  scores with new scoring will increase, then it shouldn't be a
  problem as far
  as records go.

  Only small change is needed:
  count 1 point for same country QSO, 2 points for same continent, 3
  points for
  other continent. Keep this doubled for 1.8, 3.5, and 7 MHz (2, 4 and
  6 points
  resp.)

  Rest of the WPX contest is super, off time and prefixes once per
  contest are
  cool!
  Fastest fun filled contest around, lets make it even better!!

  Yuri,  to be VE3BMV/1, or ? on 160m in WPX SSB

Much has been said about possible changes in WPX contest rules. K3BU
suggestion deserves serious considerations. Maybe it is the right time
to make changes for 1997 WPX CW. This change would make the contest more
interesting. It is a shame to ignore so many different preffixes from
your country as the count ZERO points.
Sergio, PT7SD, will be active next weekend, running 70 watts from an old
TS130S Kenwood rig.
Your call is welcome.
