Commentary:
Zone 33 is a big loser, being adjacent to Zones 5, 14, 15, those go from
3 points to 2 points.
Not much change for Zone 9. Most everything is still 3 points.
Zone 8 gets a small benefit of Zone 3 being a 3 pointer (+1).
Zone 14 now gets 2 points (-1) for zone 5, but 2 points (+1) for zones
15 and 16, so it's a wash.
NH2T loses his OC-to-JA 3 points, which now become 2 points, due to zone
adjacency.
Zone 7 is destined to become a new desirable destination. Most
everything is 3 points.
VY2ZM/VY2TT lose big, being 1 point to the USA east coast, and 2 points
to Zone 14.
