Agreed. There were plenty of zero pointers to work, who sat and called
cq endlessly. Why does the USA always get "punished"? There are lots
more hams in EU now then ever. The scores show that it was a pretty
good contest over there.

After the terrible conditions in CQWW DX SSB this weekend allowing
USA-USA QSO's for 1 point looks to be an attractive option. Why is it
this is allowed for EU stations and VE's working the USA making it
basically a domestic like contest for them? Plus it's the same for
those stations in North Africa. (CN/CT islands/EA islands) It at least
makes the contest fun and interesting for them while the rest of us
suffer thru bad propagation. Of course the contesting purists out
there will veto this idea in a millisecond. :)
The saving grace for me is I will be in PJ4 for CQWW DX CW and look
forward to having you as a captive audience !
