[CQ-Contest] Distance-Based Ranking

[Joe]

I have a test all set and ready to go, just need a sponsor he he he.

Multipliers are maidenhead grid squares, IE: EN43
Mults are good for each band to encourage the use of every band. IE: you 
get a mult for each square on each band.

QSO Points, more or less the value is determined by the level of 
difficulty in the average qso.

ON 160, 80, & 40,
1 point for each qso in your own grid square
2 points for each qso not in your own grid square but in a square that  
touches your own grid square.
3 points for all other squares

ON 20, 15 & 10,
3 points for each qso in your own grid square
2 points for each qso not in your own grid square but in a square that  
touches your own grid square.
1 point for all other squares
