[CQ-Contest] Crosschecking, Penalties, Accuracy, Log Massage

[Barry]

Seems we're getting into that time of year when we start rehashing old 
arguments again.  Maybe SO2R as a separate category and eliminating 
Packet will be next...

Re the subject at hand, I disagree, Yuri.  The CQWW contest has no 
exchange to copy.  All you need to do is get the callsign correct.  Is 
that too much to ask?  There needs to be an incentive for accuracy and 
this is the way to do it.

I do believe working same-country multipliers should be eliminated.
