[CQ-Contest] CQWW popularity from EUR Perspective: data

[Trent Sampson]

Offering USA multipliers to USA stations would mean you (USA)  would concentrate on a clean sweep and not chase DX - we have enough trouble getting USA stations to point to VK in most contests without an added disincentive. 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
