[CQ-Contest] CQ WW DX SSB Midwest vs East Coast

[David Gilbert]

Depending upon the band and the quirks of propagation, 200 miles can 
indeed be significant.   I live about 200 miles south-southeast of 
Phoenix, Arizona where the bulk of the membership of the contest club to 
which I belong (AOCC) lives.  I have often noticed that I can work 
Europeans that they can't and
vice versa.  Sometimes the difference is very pronounced.  I'm not 
saying that those differences hold throughout a contest, but at any 
point in time they certainly can.

73,
