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

[Stan Stockton]

Bob,

I'm sure rules could be tweaked if a new contest were started.  I just  
was suggesting a DX contest and not turn it into another SS.  While  
true that there are a lot of Europeans in close proximity to each  
other. They would not get many points for those nearby contacts.

 From the Midwest we would get  several times as many points for a  
European contact than they would get working each other.  I would  
think that about three times as many points for a W5-EU contact would  
be good as compared to a EU-EU contact.
