[CQ-Contest] a little more fairness?

I think we should sue the gods of the ionosphere for not providing equal 
coverage throughout the entire world.  Or, the organizers of the contest 
for choosing a period with such sparse ionospheric activity.  Why, when 
we looked at the real time propagation charts should we tolerate next to 
zero paths between Michigan and other parts of the world whilst folks in 
Virginia were working South America and elsewhere like gangbusters.

This is unfair!  Complain to someone!  Complain to anyone!  And, send in 
the lawyers!  There MUST be someone to sue for this gross unfairness!

p.s. If you didn't note a few :) :) :) in the above, I guess I'll put 
them in here. :)

p.p.s.  Congrats to all those who found favorable propagation - 
especially those reporting > 1 million points during this contest!

I was thinking of "fairness" as the playing field on 10 m this weekend 
was definitely skewed toward VK including Z21DXI :-)

Nobody even in W/VE couldn't hear my 100W into 4L.  Reminds me of 6 m 
activity...
