I recommend that DARC include JA call areas as additional multipliers.
With the greatest respect to PYs, VKs and UA9/0s, there are far more JAs
active in RTTY
contests than PY,VK, UA9/0 combined.
*Approximate* numbers taken from the '01 CQWW Master call sign data base:

JAs   = 389
PY    =  10
VK    =  15
UA9/0 =  35

I'm sure that the WAE committee will consider the above proposal if they get
enough input.
So if you agree, send Ben an e-mail.
