Steve:

The reason for the suggestion re. "DX-to-DX contacts" for QSO and multiplier 
credit
is under the current rules "DX" Stations can only work "W/VE" for contest 
QSO and
multiplier credit. W/VE can work other W/VE and "DX" for QSO and Multiplier 
credit.

Thus KF2HC/KP2 can run Europe on 6M and count the Qs and grids, while V25XX 
can not.
The goal of the change is to make the contest more interesting and fair for 
DX stations,
and hopefully encourage more of them to enter the contest and maybe even 
work you!
