It's one thing for your place of residence to change over a career or
lifetime...it's totally another to, based on the contest or location of the
desired DX, be able to selectively choose your receive system location to
minimize or eliminate the geographical and/or propagational challenges that
anyone operating in your same geographical area are faced with. And to take it
a step further...why spend the time and money to develop your station to
modestly competitive levels when you can pay 50 cents per minute to operate one
someone else built in a much more desirable location...such as a few hundred
miles from the counters instead of several thousand... Incentive gone!
