[CQ-Contest] CQWW Committee Restructured

[Richard King]

I don't usually speak up in these kinds of discussions. But this was one of
the solutions that was tossed about last week when me and some other local
guys were talking at lunch about CQWW scoring.

Personally, I like this solution the best because:

1. It solves the problem of contestants being required to work zero point
QSOs. That just isn't right.

2. It has minimal effect on scoring and previous records.

3. It doesn't change the concept and theme of the CQWW as a 'DX Contest'
where you only work DX.

It may require a little minor 'tweaking' of contest software.
