Yes I know it´s big. I been to all those places, Golden gate bridge, San
Francisco, Detroit, Bangor, Seattle  and probably very close to your QTH 
also. I driven across the US a few times, yes I know it´s big.

Yes my statement was a bit broad but still, 3000 miles that´s like me
working a Italian station, for you west coast would be the extreme case 
I certainly understand that. In any case if I put it at my perspective I 
see no big deal in working a Italian station on any band.
