VE4XT - No problem with that.

>2. No post editing of contest file

VE4XT - Unrealistic, unless every contester takes typing classes and every
logging program becomes 100 per cent bug free, which none are. I'm not
suggesting it's OK to do things like tape a contest and then scrub the log
for copying errors, but you should have the freedom to fix things like a
broken multiplier (the equivocal callsign thing again), fix honest typos
(it's not a typing contest, remember) and apply the fixes from the CTRL-N
notes that you made during the contest. That's fair.

>3. SO2R and SO1R should be separated

VE4XT - Single operators are single operators. That some are better single
operators than others doesn't mean they should be punished. We should not be
advocating disincentives to excellence.

>4. QSO scoring should be the same in every
    continent since it´s a WW contest. It is
    far from fair to have 2 points in NA for
    intercontinental QSO´s and not in all other
    continents.

VE4XT - No comment on this one.
