Topband: Improving the Fabulous CQ 160 Contest

[Braco OE1EMS]

hello,

such exchnage like in new rules is ok i think and will bring more dynamic 
into contest.
Only what i dont like is the way how stations northen AF northen SA and
parts of Midle East gettig "easy" (in compare with NA, EU and some AS 
stations)
10 points QSO´s! (same problem like in CQ WW DX contest)

maybe the best way will be to calculate points from one zone to another
each zone to another gets some points
for example
5 to 5 1 ponit,
4-5 2 points,
5-3 3 points,
5-33 4 points
5-14 5 points
5-15 6 points
5-16 7 points...etc etc for each zone dependig on the distance

or something like this
QSO with own DXCC same Zone 1 point
QSO with other coutry same Zone 2 points
QSO with other Zone same continent 3 points
QSO with other Zone other continent 10 points, except for zones on the 
border with other continent
for example Zone 33,34,21,17 to EU count 5 points or Zone 9 to NA count 5 
points, Zone 16,28,27 to AS count also 5 points......etc etc

Rare DXCC will will stay atractiv as mults and this will give more chance to regular
NA, AS or EU station to stay in competion for top score!

i also missing more awards for example EU Multi Op Winner....etc.....´
i am sure it will be very easy to find a sponsor for this!
