Unfortunately all the rules for just about every major contest are written for the benefit of those on the east coast corridor. For the rest of us in flyover county if we make a suggestion our ideas are disregarded and we are told to shut up and stop complaining.

YES! And unless/until that changes, thousands of operators around the world who don't live close to the Atlantic basin will continue to sit out those contests or utilize island stations like Jeff and John do to fit themselves into the favored region. The only time in the last ten years I've taken one of these contests seriously was with Jeff, John, and N3ZZ at PJ4.
