[CQ-Contest] Re:WPX results vs. SM2EKM claims

[Arunas, LY2IJ]

As I remember, NA not equal to USA. And there is at least one country
comparable to USA by ham population.

If NA wants to play on different rules than the rest of the World,
then it is fair to have 2 separate TOPs - one for the NA only
and one for the World (without NA).


Once I tried to recalculate part of CQ WW 1998 m/m claimed scores
on the same rules:
 a) 2 point for own continent and 3 for DX (NA rule)
 b) 1 point for own continent and 3 for DX (not NA rule)

Here are aprox results (if no dupes and no 0 point QSOs):

I hope there are no big mistakes in my formulas
