It's one thing for your place of residence to change over a career or lifetime...it's totally another to, based on the contest or location of the desired DX, be able to selectively choose your receive system location to minimize or eliminate the geographical and/or propagational challenges that anyone operating in your same geographical area are faced with.  And to take it a step further...why spend the time and money to develop your station to modestly competitive levels when you can pay 50 cents per minute to operate one someone else built in a much more desirable location...such as a few hundred miles from the counters instead of several thousand...  Incentive gone!
