Richard,

You are right. Since HQ proliferation, IARU Contest isn't fun for all.
Instead expand overall contest participation, it concentrated all attentions
(and Ops) on HQ station.

I do support eradication HQ stations from IARU Contest and this is a strong
opportunity to ARRL reviews and change IARU Contest rules.
