But there is an important difference of magnitude that you refuse to 
acknowledge -- from W1/2/3/4, there are FAR more countries, and far more 
active hams within 3,000 or 4,000 miles than there are from W6/7. So you 
have no reason to complain -- the deck is stacked in your favor by a 
ratio of at least 4:1.
