[CQ-Contest] Is it time to reevaluate CQWW Scoring Rules?

[Dick Green WC1M]

Anamolies like this are inevitable with a continent-based scoring system. I
think the only way to fix it is to use a scheme based on actual distance,
such as one QSO point per 1000 kilometers of distance, or something similar.
It would be relatively simple to implement such a system with today's
computer-based logging and log-checking programs.
