[VHFcontesting] Goal-Based Contest Scoring

[KA6AMD]

Yikes! Are you going to provide an interactive web site to calculate the 
scores?  While the goals are laudable, I disagree with some of the weights 
on the microwave bands.  Why do 24GHz and up have a lower weight than 222 
and 902 MHz?

My own preference is to use the scoring methods of the 10 GHz contest.  They 
encourage developing a higher performance station to increase the distance 
scoring.  Grid circling would be more difficult under the rules as there is 
a 1km minimum communications distance required.
