While I agree that one should get points for QSOing "further" away from 
home, someone somewhere is always going to get shafted.  The guys in the 
Netherland's Antilles are hard to beat cause they get 3 points for QSOs 
with the US.  While the guys in Antigua (V26B, etc), only get 2 points.  
P40 and V26 aren't that tremendously far apart.

I guess when making divisions, someone is always at the dividing 
line......Oh well... :-)
