[CQ-Contest] a little more fairness?

[Prasad VU2PTT]

Ward,

Appreciate your comments and this is exactly what I have been
contemplating in the run up to planning a pan-VU contest. Trying to
decide which of the big ones to select in terms of exchange. That's a
different topic and best on a separate thread.

But to stir the pot, if VE to W can get 2 points in CQWW, why not VU
to JA get the same treatment :)

No I am not asking to turn the premier contest into the Makrothen :)
