Definitely in the Midlands and over 15m inland from the sea.
 
Just unfortunate I live in the country and on a hill, the downside is there 
 are no local hams to speak of and if I ever work JO03 I am extremely  
grateful.  
 
Probably not more than 15 hams within 30 miles of here who are maybe active 
 on VHF contests!
 
I don't have the massive numbers of stations who are local say in IO83 and  
IO91 due to sheer size of populateion over and down there.

Bryn,

I would be quite happy to dispense with the square  multipliers and just 
have one point per km.  As I recall, the multipliers  were introduced to give 
a better incentive than one point per QSO.  But I  would still like the 
locator to form part of the necessary exchange as a  measure of ability 
correctly to receive a message.  But I suspect that  opinion will be divided - as 
always.  BTW I regard you as East Coast  rather than Midlands !!

To  be even fairer why not just remove ALL grid  multipliers.  I do not 
beam to EU for more tha 5% of total time.  If  you think it helps midlands 
stations then so be it, I didn't ask for any extra  help (living in the midlands)

I will probably enter as usual as  long as I get points for working my 
friends in OZ DL F PA etc couldn't care  less about the multipliers.

Personally I agree with  Paul RRA and think it is a reasonable attempt to 
level the  playing field - and I say this as somone close to the South 
Coast. 
If anything it has tilted it in favour of the Midlands but I can live  with 
that.  After all it is a UK Activity event.   Sorry you will not be there 
to 
give out JO03 Bryn but maybe  there will be others?
