However, that requires two stations.  This rule is propagated by the allocation of stations to geographies and the fairness of scoring points outside your area.  However, if not all the stations were assigned by area this problem would go away.  If half the contestants were defined by points scored in ther home area, some of the geographical diversity could be preserved.  If the rest of the contestants we're based on total points  earned anywhere in world normalized to where they operated, this whole allocation of US vs EU would go away and the contesters that won their area the most often would qualify.

Rich and Alex,

I don't see any problems with someone winning 4 contests from REMOTE
AREA. You would still have to be good enough to win another 4 from
your HOME AREA.

AA> Well, if it's so easy to win some remote area even 4 times are too many.
AA> This definitely is a problem that the organizers have to address somehow.
