[PaQSO] PAQSO Party changes

[Bob Nygren]

Mike,
         Might I suggest this would be a good time to equalize all CW 
contacts at 2 points each. The new RTTY/PSK contacts are not 
penalized a half a point when they are on a band other than 80 
meters. Scoring would also be easier.
         Heck, being CW does require more skill and dedication than 
either RTTY or PSK, maybe 3 points a QSO would be justified.
         Thanks for your consideration!

Regards,

Bob N3RN
