[CQ-Contest] What Yuri said

[Milt Jensen]

BY FAR THE BEST PROPOSAL YET, IMHO!!!  BUT WHAT DO I KNOW???  I'M ONE
WHO OPERATES A ZONE 3, 160 METER ONLY STATION.  IT SURE WOULD BE GREAT
TO HAVE POINT COUNTERS FOR THE 75-80% OF Qs WHICH ARE ZERO (0) UNDER THE
CURRENT POINT SYSTEM.  I'M JUST 160, ZONE 3 FODDER FOR ALL THE ZONE 4 &
5 STATIONS.     73 DE MILT, N5IA, OP AT N7GP
