I call BS on this one. Sorry.

Heard Island is going to rock a contest, simply by virtue of its rarity.

Well, Heard Island is a bad example. It will not rock in any contest because of its poor proximity and propagation to any population.

However, there are plenty of places in the Caribbean with poor or no internet access, but contest-winning antennas.

You can’t assume everyone operates with the same infrastructure you do, and you can’t 
assume those who don’t are automatically inferior.

Living on a rural hilltop in New Mexico, United States of America, I can certainly agree with you there, Kelly.
