The SS can be won from just about any place east/west or north/south. I
won SS phone HP in 2009 form KH6, in 2010 VY2ZM won and in 2011 W6YI did it
form CA. That takes care of east, west and north. For many years it was
won by from the south in KP4.
The contest does tend to favor west coast during high points of the cycle
but has been won in both modes from many parts of the US and Canada. It
usually takes a good station and an experienced op to do it though.

This area (Georgia) isn't bad at all for propagation. Location is not as
good here as it is from Maine to Europe, or from California to Asia, but
it
isn't remotely as bad as the folks stuck in North Dakota or other central
northern states have.
I'm just totally perplexed why people who live around here think this area
has some huge disadvantage.
