[CQ-Contest] West of the Mississippi advantage?

[Bryon PAUL Veal n0ah]

Pinch me with a bit of dry humor.................are you saying you are 
disappointed there is any contest known to mankind that stations east of the 
Mississippi are at a disadvantage??  Contesting for 16 years west of the 
Mississippi, I find this unbelievable with exception of certain extremely 
gifted contesters with awesome super stations we all know-  But on average 
in over-all contesting, for us little pistols running LP,  I would assume 
the weighted scores would favor stations east of the Mississippi. Both from 
a geographic stand point, water table, and a standpoint of propagation,. If 
the NAQP in the winter is one contest that might favor those of us west of 
the Mississippi, it is hard to feel bad for you guys   (-:
