No disrespect intended for those fine efforts outside of the  NE....
However, KQ2M was a 38 hr effort, K5ZD chose the classic as did  NN1N.  If 
any of those stations had done a serious 43+ hour effort we know  who would 
have been 1, 2 and 3 in no specific order...followed by the guys  outside 
the NE.
 
N2IC....4370   170   476        46 hrs
K5ZD...2889    147  441         24 hrs
NN1N...2701    149  433         24 hrs
 
Like I said, if a quality station with a good op does a serious  effort in 
the NE, it will beat a quality station with a good op outside the NE  for 
WW.  If no quality NE stations show up with a serious effort in a  particular 
class, we do have a chance of winning...like your SOHP and my  SOAHP.  
Sometimes the stars do align properly.
