 I grew up in the Ohio Valley and lived in Chicago for 42 years. The big 
club there is SMC, and they consider it the Black Hole because of the 
relative proximity to EU as compared to W1/2/3/4, and AS as compared to 
W6/7.
 Geography as it relates to propagation and demographics is HUGE. THAT, 
and ONLY that, is the handicap we need to fix.
