Does anyone else have a problem with this:
 
Single op:
 
NN1N               955    59    52    10    440,892 YCCC
 
Multi op:
 
K9NR(@WB9Z)       1329    59    42    30    350,470 SMC
 
 
All these guys are my friends, and I'm not picking on anyone
individually.
But when a New England station that operates 10 hours beats a full-blown
W9 multi-op by 25% there is something wrong with the contest rules.
 
I think the CQ 160 guys need to throttle-back on the 10-point rule for
inter-
continental QSO's.  Its kinda hard to get psyched up back here for this
kind of beating otherwise.
