Normally I don't do "me too" posts, but Ty's right on this one.  My
favorite contests are the ones where everybody works everybody,
multipliers galore, points all over the place.

I especially don't like rules which prevent you from working your own
country except once for mult credit.  What sense does that make?  I
could see a complete prohibition on your own country, making it a pure
DX contest, but allowing one contact (per band)?  I don't get it.
