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

[wally]

Distance may be calculated from the center of each CQ Zone and this will be
sufficient in my humble opinion. ( as Fabian has done it in fact )
Then minimum distance per 1 pt should be 1000 km ?

For those not sending logs same approach may be used, because we know in
which CQ Zone they are. ( in almost all cases :-) !?! )

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.
