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

[Jim Brown]

This is exactly the kind of rule-making I've been complaining about. 
Those who make the rules tailor them to benefit themselves, ignoring how 
they affect others.

When the IARU HF Championship began around 1977, with only ITU Zones as multipliers, it was possible to win from areas in the world where it was unlikely to win in other contests. In fact I was part of the M/S team which placed World High in 1979 from VE7WJ, and again World High M/S in 1980 from KH6XX. I believe I won for the USA in 1984 from AI6V, SOAB.
