[CQ-Contest] New Mult for SS

[Bob Shohet, KQ2M]

Umm...  there is NO “advantage” for the East coast (especially New England) contesters in SS compared to the Midwest, Great Plains, South, Southwest or West.  It’s actually the WORST place to be for that contest from a score standpoint.

Any East coast advantages reside solely with DX contests.

I don’t know what rule changes K9YC is talking about.  Perhaps he will elaborate.

If you think it's a challenge from the Mid-Atlantic region, consider
what it's like from W6.

Any changes to contest rules that increase the advantage of east coast
contesters seems to be OK with HQ!

I can go one better.  How'd you like to have to work it from KH6?  Close to 6000 miles away..  JA, HL and UA9 are closer. So is VK/ZL.  This might take away some of the West Coast advantage.
