[CQ-Contest] I found my fav contest rules

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

Those who designed the rules in the Stew Perry 160 meter contest are the 
real contest champions.  In contrast the ARRL 160 meter contest, which 
penalizes operators in the U.S. Territories by lumping them in with 
W/VE, is a perfect example of unfairness. Imagine that every Pacific DX 
entity counts the same as Hawaii and the have KP2 counting as KP5 and 
KP2 counting the same as KP1.  The fact that this is an obvious 
disparity has no impact on the chosen few inside HQ that refuse to 
change this.  Once the ARRL gets into a rut on contest rules they 
refused to get out of it.  Thier CAC is about as helpless as useless on 
a boar hog. They must be "tasked" by a select cabal of HQ insiders 
before they can even consider doing the right thing in correcting a well 
known problem.  As a result stations in the U.S. Territories just refuse 
to participate.
