[CQ-Contest] Worst contesting location?

[John Geiger (NE0P)]

I agree that any location in the polar zones is tough.  I had thought of JW, OX, and R1FJ, but figured that their proximity to Europe would offset that a bit contestwise.  In the southern polar zones you are close to little of anything.
