That doesn't work either, because scoring rules determine the operating 
strategies of the participants. This weekend in ARRL 160, for example, 
where DX is worth 5x a USA QSO, I won't be able to work many east coast 
mults because they're listening with directional RX to EU until the path 
dies after EU sunrise, and then they go to bed, except for the few big 
guns who start listening for AS and OC.

And a lot fewer Atlantic Basin stations work Stew because they don't 
have that advantage!
