[CQ-Contest] CQWW Committee Restructured

[Jim George]

Agree. At my weekly "radio lunch" with K5NA, K5OT, W5JAW, and N5TW, we came 
up with the same thing. Everyone should be able to work his/her own country 
for one point. This would not only encourage more activity, but eliminate 
one current irritation of the CQWW where people in your country call you 
and you either ignore them or work them to clear the frequency for weaker 
DX. That would level out the current rules where people are in small 
countries and can work others at high rates (at more points). It should 
help activity in large countries like W, RA, VU, VE, VK, BY, etc.,  as well 
as other counties that have significant ham radio populations.

It would allow more action on bands that currently are of little use at 
many "dead times," and of course would have a major impact on M/M stations.
