[CQ-Contest] CQWW is an unfair Contest -- A solutiion!

[Ed W0YK]

The simplicity of call sign copying contests like CQ WW and CWops nay be a major factor in their popularity.   High activity makes operating fun.  For many, operating is more important than their result.  Contests with unknown and/or complicated exchanges are also fun, even with lower participation.People who don't value contest diversty can select their favorites.  Overall line scores allow one to compare with locals, with similar locations,  similar stations, etc.  No one needs to feel bad that a west Africa superstation beat them.Seems like a pretty good hobby.73,Ed W0YK
