Maybe what's missing here is some measure of blackness. I would argue to
Joe that it's a lot blacker here in Kansas than in Ohio, and would concede
that it's blacker in Ohio than in PA.
There's another issue that hits you with respect the further east you get,
the polar region - the more south and east you are in the US, the more
likely you are to stay far away from the polar region as well as having a
better shot at a 1-hop path.

After operating from Central Ohio for many years, I can assure you
that Ohio is certainly in the midwest black hole. It is nowhere
near the favored propagation enjoyed by the (north)east coast.
The only year I won anything (ARRL 160, 1982) the entire east coast
had a massive early winter thunderstorm and could not hear anything.

Everyone keeps calling K3LR an "east coast" station. Tim is far from
the east coast. His station is on the Ohio/Pennsylvania state line ...
much more in the "black hole" category than in the favored Northeast
coastal elite.
