I thought it was obvious that I meant the difference between Georgia and Massachusetts was minor compared to the difference between either of them relative (as in the word "relatively" that I used in my post) to most of the rest of the U.S. ... or anywhere else, for that matter.

If one thinks the difference in propagation relatively minor you haven't
operated from both places.  I had a friend come down from W2 land years ago
and worked in the WAE CW.  He was listening on 80 and wanted to know when
the EU stations got loud.  I told him that was as loud as they usually  get.
In the winter K1s can run EU almost 24 hours a day on 40 for CQWW. Try
that from here.
I'm not saying we don't have advantages, but we do NOT have pretty much the
  same prop as K1 does.
My previous post summed up SE strategy, work quantity and not quality. It
worked for me this year.

that many of us not living on the east coast find the  distinction
between Georgia and Massachusetts to be relatively  minor
