[CQ-Contest] CQWW Madness

[Richard F DiDonna NN3W]

There was an analysis done a few years back where somebody went through 
and entered in maidenhead grids for most all competitors (using CQWW 
logs) and a log masher.  Turns out most everyone who won in that 
particular won if distance was factored in - some of the positions were 
rearranged however.  I believe the sole exception was that NH2T made it 
toward the top of the box.

If you really, really want to placate some in certain areas, then give 
one point for intra country QSOs provided the QSO is with a station in a 
different CQ zone.  BY9s working BY4s get one point. VK6s working VK3s 
get one point.  VE1s working VE7s get one point.  Etc.

Also make US states and VE call areas multipliers to even things out with EU. I'm sure there would be some way to do this. Maybe it's time to call N6TR since Tree has figured out how to do this.
