Why do we need multipliers?
Why not something like 1 for your own country, 2 for same continent and 3
for different continents?

I suspect this encourages many to enter ie those who appreciate that they
cannot compeate against "the big boys"
The above scoring (no mults), I suspect, also levels the playing field so
"country winners" become more important than "world winners".

Then sections for 10 watts and under, 100 watts and under, 400 watts (I
believe this to be the UK limit!!!!) and under, and you have covered a good
x-section. Pse note I do not include ANY aerial limitations as we should be
able to build, test modify aerial systems. (whoops sorry left out BUY!!)

Totally agree but so few seem to have an RX to do that with.

So perhape the RSGB should stop trying to play on the world stage, limit its
contest committes to a UK only senario (and possibly save some money!).  I
do not think it is beyond the ability of any UK operator to choose contests
to take part in.
