Excellent.  Terrific to see that SOAB is winnable from the East coast 
(once every 35 years).

73 Rich NN3W  Rich,Agree 100%. Plus it’s a different era in contesting since W2GD won CW SS in 1978. That was before computer logging and SO2R became the norm.I don’t seem to understand why people have a hang up on keeping old antiquated rules.I’m curious when the last time an east coast station won phone SS? I bet it’s well before 1978Jeff
