[SECC] Re: [CQ-Contest] DX Participation in NAQP Contests

   NAQP favors the West Coast big time !!!!  No way I am going make 400-500 QSO's and 45 mults on both 160 and 80 to counter what you guys do on 15 and 10 meters... We are also are starting to see 40 go long early now which gives the West Coast even more of an advantage.

  I don't see how the East Coast would gain any advantage because none of the
EU QSO's they make would not be multipliers....

I think this the reason why most are against changing SS to one QSO per band....
