Re: [CQ-Contest] DX Contest scoring schemes

[W0MU <w0mu@w0mu.com>]

Another Atlantic based commenter not wanting his contest changed.

Is there a problem with discussing this other than the possibility that 
your advantage might be diminished in some way?
Everyone knows how difficult it is to get a new contest started.  We 
like the contest.  We don't like the scoring and continued advantage and 
disparaging score differentials.    You folks like the advantage.  I 
have yet to hear anyone in that area say otherwise.
