Since we only have section, call, and freq we could only base the
"score" on just these factors.  Section is not really fair, since the
size or area of a section is not consistent.

I propose:
1 point for each 6m contact,
2 points for each 2m contact,
3 points for each 220 contact, etc.

The multiplier would would be the number of bands you worked a
particular call.  Lets say you worked a particular guy on 6m, 2m, and
70cm  thats 1+2+4=7 points.  You worked him on three bands so the
multiplier is 3 for a total of 21 points.  This would even out the
playing field (a little at least), a promote more bands for Field Day.

Granted this is pretty informal, but could eventually grow to be a
contest within a contest.
