I think we should take the raw contest score and divide by the following
formula:
( AHSL + DxSW + NuEl) / ( PoWt + SsAi * (2Pi * OpAg) )
Where:
AHSL = Antenna Height Above Sea Level ( in meters)
DxSW = Distance to nearest body of salt water (in kilometers) exception:
Utah residents
SSAi = Sunspot A index at time of contact
PoWt = Power output in watts
NuEl = Number of antenna elements on this band
OpAg = Operator's age in years
Pi = Pi to 4 decimal places, 3.1416 (all good formulas need Pi in them
somewhere)

There are all sorts of grievances that one can lodge on scoring. Let's
see, station in W4 works station in W6 (2400 miles). Points awarded - 0
Station in PA works station in DL (228 miles). Points awarded - 1
Station in VE3 works station in W3 (347 miles). Points awarded - 2
On and on and on.
