[CQ-Contest] DX Contest Handicap Proposal

[W4ZW@Comcast.net]

> 
> Something similar to the rating and slope system for golf courses would fit when viewed from a regional basis.  This would compensate for propagation differences by region.  Maybe a handicap system based on region?  But posting finishes by region in addition to overall, a la SS would work.  I still favor the shorter time flight for those of us who are time restricted (and OOTCers!)

> As a long time contester with limited time, I have always competed just for the fun of seeing how well I can do in the time I have available. I have operated from all over the US and much of the world and have experienced the wide disparity of propagation that exists and not generally not based on  distance.
