[CQ-Contest] If it Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It

CQ WW is not a perfect contest.  What in life is "perfect"?  But its fundamental format has proven the test of time, witness that it arguably remains the favorite of most, world-wide.

Most of those who complain and don't like the rules, never,  and would not, put in major efforts ( which I define as operating at least 40 of the 48 hours), even if the rules were 'more perfect'. There will always be some excuse, no matter how favorable the rules, and respective circumstances, may be.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

CQWW is a callsign and zone numbers copying test, since 30% or more USA

CQ already has a world wide contest with serial numbers in the exchange.

They still need to do something about the CQWW
exchange. With zones, it's just a callsign-copying contest.  I'm for
serial numbers.
