[CQ-Contest] DX Contest scoring schemes

[Ktfrog007--- via CQ-Contest]

You should multiply the entire result by i, the  square root of minus one, 
the basis for imaginary numbers.  Seems  appropriate for this whole 
discussion.

I think  we should take the raw contest score and divide by the following  
formula:

( AHSL + DxSW + NuEl) / ( PoWt + SsAi * (2Pi * OpAg)  )

Where:
AHSL = Antenna Height Above Sea Level ( in  meters)
DxSW = Distance to nearest body of salt water (in  kilometers) exception: 
Utah residents
SSAi = Sunspot A  index at time of contact
PoWt = Power output in  watts
NuEl = Number of antenna elements on this  band
OpAg = Operator's age in years
Pi = Pi  to 4 decimal places, 3.1416 (all good formulas need Pi in them  
somewhere)
