Here's my opinion on this 'circle thing'...
All these highly competitive coastal clubs need to relocate where the
ocean doesn't interfere with their defined circles. Kansas, for example,
has a lot of unobstructed real estate for hundreds of miles in all
directions. Another club could grab a circle in Nebraska, another flat,
wonderland waiting to be claimed. You say there's more clubs having
coastal circle anxiety? Continue up to South Dakota and spill over into
North Dakota if necessary.
The Minnesota Wireless Association would enjoy the competition in their
neighborhood. It really is a level playing field out here in the bread
basket of the country!

Several skinny states with large contest clubs (Florida and Tennessee for

It would seem to me a fair way to do it would be by square miles, although
it would be difficult to figure it out. Doing it by a radius is tough
since not too many people live in the Gulf of Mexico down here in FL.
