Hi Stan,
Suggesting these rules include also the DX side of the QSO that indeed for W1
is difficult to work W6 as G station so i expect to add more fun and
competition to the black hole Guys without compromise the score .
Adding 0 points to your zone and adjacent zone and only 1 point to other no
adjacent zone into the same country could be an exception that can be added to
level the playfield into the Bigger countries that are spreadout over 3/4
CQzones
