OK, Jim, you're simply in the wrong location and the scoring rules simply suck, or you'd have simply won.

It isn't about ME, Hans, it's about the thousands of contesters outside the favored geography, many of them my neighbors. It isn't even about winning, but rather simply about being in the contest or not. If you're in W6 in a DX contest, you're not in the contest, no matter how good your station or your skills.

We've observed that N6MJ is an incredible operator, but he's not "in the contest" from even the very best station in W6. To get in the game, he must travel at least 3,000 miles, and 5,000 miles is better.
