Cheers to that!  And with I4JNY's point on "required
features" in mind (i.e. 3 point contacts to both EU
and NA), let's make zone 8 a 3-pointer in the CQ WW
for inter-North American contacts and then we'll
REALLY have quite a competition on our hands.  
Don't misconstrue what I'm saying: it's a heck of a
competition now for the world single op title, but it
would be even more competitive with this rule change.

Winning a contest is the sum of operator skill,
equipment, and location.  While equalizing all factors
is not possible, this is an example of one that is
long overdue for correction and would make a super
contest like CQ WW even more competitive than it
already is.

Let's make the equal rules to all the continents. Now rules favor North Americans (2pts vs. 1pt)...
