mults etc?

count :-)

To be honest, I didn't know how to score it but thats a good idea. I 
believe there is a European VHF contest scored like that. I remember on 
the Wintest reflector somebody asking for that to be implemented.

It's quite interesting I think. The further away you are, the less Q's 
you get, less mults also but at least they would be valuable. Distant 
stations would be seeked out as both parties benefit from the higher mult.

It still won't make those on the edges into winners but does encourage 
activity towards them when  they are valuable.

Of course, old logs could be run through any new scoring algorythm to 
ensure fairness???  Of course it would be great if the rules favoured me 
but I don't think that will ever be the case. But it's annoying when 
they do clearly favour others in  certain area's.

I'm not going to mention KST HI. 

Reg/Neil.  Are comments on this reflector being picked up for the 
purposes of the questionnaire?
