[K1TTT]

The cq 160m contest is not the stew perry contest... keep them separate and
unique.

> For the 2010 edition of CQ 160 contest, I propose the following
> changes as followons to the 2009 changes:
> 
> 1.  Make the exchange 59(9) grid where "grid" is 4 character
> Maidenhead grid square, a-la the Stew Perry test.
> 
> 2.  Make the QSO point scoring proportional to distance.  You could
> take the Stew Perry scheme and scale it so that the longest possible
> QSO is 10 (or maybe 12) points.
> 
> 3.  Keep multipliers to encourage DXpeditions and pile-ups.
> 
> Let the flaming begin.
