Legacy curse of CQ WW contest is 2 points for inter-NA QSO which supossedly
stimulates Carribean DX-peds. Most of people moved further South to 3
points islands. Increased EU participation makes plain EA8/CT3 interesting.
I was aware of all this when making SCC RTTY rules in 1990's on open
internet forum. The solutin was to give 1 point to different areas in big
countries, 2 points for same continent and 3 points for intercontinental.
I was warned that huge USA population would easily win but that never
happened! I was glad to later print K5ZD/1, W2UP/3, AD1c/0 :-)
Once upon a time YU was a nice country of 20M+ people but now I earn 1 point
working former republics. I feel USA, JA, UA9/0 and others should also
score 1 point for each QSO. DX-ing might be done on all other working days.
