...and by location, location, location, if there's nothing else but LOS 
propagation. Down here near Charleston, SC it gets really lonely during 
a VHF contest when there are no openings.

But I agree with George, I have yet to encounter a fellow contester who 
would not share knowledge when asked. And if there's some "secrecy", 
then it is mostly about how certain rules are bend (spotting 
arrangements for instance).
