I figured this all out about 25 years ago.
I've never really have had the desire to build a big contest station at home
and if I did I couldn't compete against the East Coast anyway. Nothing against
you guys in the Northeast but I have no desire to move there to try to win a DX
contest. I like living in the laid back Midwest and now the South.
So I decided a long time ago why not just go somewhere where everyone wants to
work me! So instead of spending big $$$ to build a big station at home I
decided heck I'm just going to go to the Caribbean at least once a year to get
my "Big Contest Fix ".
I'm been lucky to find a place I can go to every year for CQWW DX CW , be in a
country that I'm probably the only station on and also enjoy an advantage by
being in a zone where just about every QSO is worth 3 points.
CU in a couple weeks from PJ4A in Bonaire.

BTW .....K4BAI and I are always looking for hotshot CW operators to join our
team every year.
