Here too in central NC conditions were, at best, poor. Bad prop and
lots of QRN. However did manage to work 38 countries. And had a
reasonable run last hour of contest.
However, checking the stats, almost 1/3 of logged Qs were with US
stations. Perhaps more. Several times I stopped calling CQ because all
I was getting were US callers. Really not what I wanted, at all.
Because of this I've sent a note to the contest contact for CQ
suggesting they eliminate all points, including zone points, for same
country contacts. Yes, we here in the US would loose 3 zones but its
level across the country. This would eliminate all same country
callers which, if my experience is representative, would increase the
number and length of time of stations calling cq. At least here in the US.
Hope to work lots of folks from everywhere this weekend!
