Every single HF contest CQ runs favors those that are near a border of a
continent or
recently in a location that has good propagation to both EU and the USA.
Those 10
point QSO's in the 160 contest or 3 point QSO's in CQWW are giving even more
of an
advantage to those stations who really don't need one.
W4ZV said "every contest is unfair to someone in some area" - which is
true. You are
never gong to see a "perfect" set of rules for any contest. But making a few
minor changes
will make it alittle more fair...
Personally, I would like to see everyone get the same number of points per
contact .
Then there would be no need for everyone to go to P40 ot PJ and they could
spread themselves
among the other islands giving us all more multipliers to work....
