Unfortunately, distance scoring couldn't be done correctly without some
coordinates exchange.

First - there are many countries larger than 500 or 1000 km, or much more.
And the callsign information usually is not sufficient for determining
station's QTH.

Second - a lot of participants are not sending their logs, so we can't rely
on the coordinates, included in the log header.
