Not that it makes a fart in a windstorm worth of difference to the
ARRL, but I have done the same,
I gave a few contacts to west coast stations and will not participate in
the contest.
Another reason is the amount of deaf stations that seem to be on the
band for this one. The ratio
of S9 plus signals that cannot copy someone calling is at all time highs.
Stew is the contest for 160.
