[CQ-Contest] zero pointers etc

[Dave Hoaglin]

In order to get the country multiplier for the U.S., I have to make a
zero-point QSO on each band.  I may need to make a zero-point QSO to get
the zone multipliers for Zones 3, 4, and 5.  I try to work multi-op
stations in my own club for the country mults and VE stations for the zone
mults, but that strategy doesn't always work perfectly.

The more a loud station runs, the more zero-point QSOs it will attract from
ops who simply need the mults.  Of course, that is far from the whole
story, and I have no data on the percentage of zero-point QSOs with running
stations that fall in that category.  A certain number of ops are unaware
of the rules, surely more than the ones who make duplicate zero-point QSOs.
