Im sorry Bill, but VY2 is not the East coast.  Its 1,000 miles from here 
to Prince Edward island - which has tremendous ramifications for one's 
ability to run on 20 meters and 15 meters.

You might as well say that Puerto Rico is east coast too.

Can you tell me the last time someone on the ACTUAL east coast won SOAB 
in Sweeps?
