[CQ-Contest] contest clubs and boundaries

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Here's my opinion on this 'circle thing'...

All these highly competitive coastal clubs need to relocate where the 
ocean doesn't interfere with their defined circles. Kansas, for example, 
has a lot of unobstructed real estate for hundreds of miles in all 
directions. Another club could grab a circle in Nebraska, another flat, 
wonderland waiting to be claimed. You say there's more clubs having 
coastal circle anxiety? Continue up to South Dakota and spill over into 
North Dakota if necessary.

The Minnesota Wireless Association would enjoy the competition in their 
neighborhood. It really is a level playing field out here in the bread 
basket of the country!

DISCLAIMER: Yes, I was looking for any excuse to slip in one more plug 
for the MnQP that starts tomorrow at 9:00 am EST / 8:00 am CST!
