[CQ-Contest] Dumbing-Down Contests?

[Tom Taormina]

C'mon guys. The premier, biggest, best and most prestigious DX Contest,
CQWW, has the dumbest exchange. There isn't a piece of software made that
does not automatically assign the zone number based on the call sign prefix.
Poor argument for leaving the current mess in the ARRL DX Contest as-is. If
you want copying skill, adopt the AA format of using your age or add power
levels to my suggested exchange (MMA, MMB, MMC). The only potential problem
with that schema is the category SOB.

Better yet, enter SS if you have an appetite for accurately copying complex
exchanges.
