Very true. LACK of activity ruins contests. SS suffers from that to a
considerable degree in that unlike many contests, you can't work the same
station on another band. Makes for a very slow Sunday, but fun for the
casuals who jump in then as "fresh meat".
In fairness to NCCC, and other clubs as well, I would think demographics
gives PVRC an advantage. With our circle stretching from 3 of the 4 major
population centers in NC through VA, parts of WVA, MDC, DE and a bit of PA,
there is a huge population from which to draw contesters and logs when we
push--which is what has been done. No matter where the NCCC guys put the
center of their circle they're going to get either a lot of ocean or a lot
of sparsely populated area, or both, on the sides.
Not that we intend to give up any ground....:-)

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Have NCCC and PVRC ruined SS?
How can more activity ruin SS? Once you get a sweep, it's all about
finding
stations you haven't worked before. You don't care where they are. And if
you haven't gotten a sweep yet, you still want to work as many as you can
and you don't care where they are.
