[VHFcontesting] Good places for VHF Contesting?

[Renner, PY7RP]

Hello Steve

I am making a hard analysis on the results of the last 7 years
of contest. There is a big data base to work on it. As i said
before, the study of case is being done in the Brazilian VHF
Contest, which has the score formula given by:
Sum of all distances of contacted stations multiplied by the
number of worked stations. If you find a place which maximizes
this value, you may get the best place to operate from.

There are regions where you get big densities of operators
instead of others. You may prefer to go to places away from these
places but not so far away, because "maybe" the probability
of contacts may decrease too much. I guess you may find an
optimum place, analyzing each contest scenario.

Well, if i find something interesting i gonna post it here to hear
comments.

I have been thinking of this all day, and I don't see how you can make
a meaningful study of "good" places.  There are many variables which
will determine how well you do on a contest besides the physical
location, so I don't think you can quantify this.

One thing that all good places have in common is height for the
antennas.  Beyond that, things diverge.
