Hi Bill...I have the greatest respect for your accomplishments in contesting 
over the years, BUT
saying it ain't gonna happen is far from right....there are inadequacies in 
the contest as we participate in it, and things just might change...the 
squeaky wheel gets the grease....and I for one will continue to squawk about 
the in-adequacies as I see them...it keeps coming up, because it isn't 
right...plain and simple! If more stations had to put up with this 
in-adequacy it would get more response....it doesn't affect the m-m's in the 
NE as much as the SE, and therefore must not be a problem!
