[CQ-Contest] Have NCCC and PVRC ruined SS?

[Jim Jordan, K4QPL]

Very true. LACK of activity ruins contests. SS suffers from that to a 
considerable degree in that unlike many contests, you can't work the same 
station on another band. Makes for a very slow Sunday, but fun for the 
casuals who jump in then as "fresh meat".

In fairness to NCCC, and other clubs as well, I would think demographics 
gives PVRC an advantage. With our circle stretching from 3 of the 4 major 
population centers in NC through VA, parts of WVA, MDC, DE and a bit of PA, 
there is a huge population from which to draw contesters and logs when we 
push--which is what has been done. No matter where the NCCC guys put the 
center of their circle they're going to get either a lot of ocean or a lot 
of sparsely populated area, or both, on the sides.

Not that we intend to give up any ground....:-)

73,

Jim, K4QPL
