Re: points for adjacent Zones, etc.
Do we REALLY want to encourage SAME COUNTRY QSO's,
for points, in the CQ WW DX Contest?
I DON'T THINK SO !
Re: Moving the CQ WW CW contest dates
The only open weekend in November is between the CW and SSB
SWEEPSTAKES. Probably not a good idea.
The first two weekends in December are taken by the 160M and 10M
contests. Would you like it the weekend before Christmas? NOT!
The Last Weekend in SEPTEMBER looks interesting for a WW kind
of contest:
It is just after the Equinox. The sun follows the equator
and EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE has 12 hour days and
12 hour nights. VE3BMV once proposed a September
contest for this very reason. Maybe it's time to revive
that proposal (but NOT for CQ WW CW).
KEEP IT SIMPLE: 3 POINTS FOR ALL DX TO DX CONTACTS.
PERIOD.
