Topband Alumnus,
Being just as competitive in nature as the rest of the participants, I
knew that I couldn't compete with the gents on the East coast.
Living in North Texas, even with a reasonably good station, I knew that
my scores wouldn't be in the same category.
No use in worrying about it.
This may be an over simplification, but I look at it this way. I compare
the contest results to stations in my geographical area. I view it as a
location leveler. This is the only equable comparison, or bench mark to
evaluate one's performance. Not everyone's cup-of-tea, but it works for me.
