[CQ-Contest] Zone 8 needs "required features"

[Felipe J. Hernández]

Scott,

Sounds like a great Idea, but its hard to make it happen, but how about
making the
S.A. Islands P4, PJ,9Y, 8R and PZ to get only 2 pts per Q to N.A.
We would have hundred of operations out of the Caribbean Islands,making the
whole thing
so much more competitive And at the same time all the record from N.A. will
remain the
same and not have 50 new records in 2001.

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.
