Maybe it's time to give points for same-country contacts in CQWW CW & 
SSB, so we don't have to make zero-point contacts just to get mults.

In the WPX RTTY contest, over 60 percent of my QSO's were with US 
stations. Without those contacts, the contest would have been very 
boring for me. Changing the rules might actually cause participation to 
drop.
