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

[Bernd Länger]

Interesting thoughts,

As Jim N6TJ said, you gotta do it for the fun and be happy with your 
choice/possibiities! I am trying to set my targets realistically - 
Oceania, nothing more (anything else would be wishful thinking for AB...)

The only more radical approach would be to consider real distances based 
on grid squares, maybe with a weight factor for each band. Technically 
possible with computers - most log entries for CQWW are computer logs 
anyway. It really would have us in Oceania resurface from the abyss and 
may initiate a new 'La Nina', ie movement opposite the current stream to 
far away places... But how would you count QRN (Southern Summer vs 
Northern Winter)? ...and on it goes...
