[CQ-Contest] DX Contest scoring schemes

[halken]

Kudos to Bill and John.  I will be QRV in a few hours, breaking the 
surly bonds of the CQ-Contest reflector.  I am operating down in a hole, 
in a CC neighborhood with simple, hidden wire antennas.  I cannot win, I 
cannot make the top 20.  It was my decision to pick this house and this 
town and I, and only I, am responsible for those decisions.  It would 
not feel right to suggest changing the scoring methodology for my 
decisions.  I knew the rules when I bought this QTH.

I operate because it's a lot of fun.  The adrenalin rush from rate is 
cool; saying "hi" to old friends is also cool.  Staying sharp for when I 
can win from elsewhere is important, as is keeping my callsign in other 
people's heads.  Beating last years score is icing on the cake.

See you all at 0000Z...

73,
Hal N4GG (NN4GG)
