"It might be fun for you all in New England but it sure isn't for everyone else."  Merits of the current scoring system aside, the data simply does not back up this often heard assertion.  http://www.cqww.com/stats.htm

As K9NW correctly stated, there is a ton of CQWW DX log data available.  Use it and make a concrete proposal.  Show us the merits.  Otherwise it's just noise.

If you really feel W1 is the place to be for CQWW, there are remote stations coming on line each year.  Rent one!  Or make friends with someone in New England and borrow their station.  But these things require effort.  QSYing now to something productive.
