Oh, you mean places like your home state of Georgia, where W4AN won 10 
years ago, and N4OO (ex-NA4BW) and N4PN continue to do very well ?

73,
Steve, N2IC Yes Steve...  the propagation in Georgia is much better than when I lived in Ohio. But I don’t think you could regularly win or place high in SS from here like you could in NM/AZ.I sure love running the east coast/ mid-west on 20 , 15 and sometimes 10 meters during many of the different contests. Could never do that in Ohio. And that’s with simple wire antennas at my QTH.160 and 80 meters can sometimes be a struggle with all the mid-west/east coast stations working each other. I usually lose out when those guys are calling each other.It’s also is pretty cool being so close to the Caribbean. I have actually have had CO stations call me on 160 after sunrise on a regular basis. Plus stations like KV4FZ , FM5BH,FM5CD and whoever is in ZF2 are always really loud here when people up north are struggling to hear them.  73, Jeff
