[CQ-Contest] Comments on CQWW Rules

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

The aim is gain two way contacts?    I thought it was to work as many 
people as possible and as many mults.  Pileup control is done by giving 
callsigns.  So in an effort to placate the I NEED IT NOW  society a 
rules change has been made to remove a viable strategy from a run 
station so that S&P stations can get a call or verify a call faster.

The next rule change we need is that everyone gets a shiny trophy and we 
have no winners and losers..................
