Depending upon the band and the quirks of propagation, 200 miles can
indeed be significant. I live about 200 miles south-southeast of
Phoenix, Arizona where the bulk of the membership of the contest club to
which I belong (AOCC) lives. I have often noticed that I can work
Europeans that they can't and
vice versa. Sometimes the difference is very pronounced. I'm not
saying that those differences hold throughout a contest, but at any
point in time they certainly can.

The distance from OM2VL to 9A1P is about 215 miles. If your contention is
that those two locations are not comparable, then -no- QTHs are comparable
- ever. OM2VLs QTH is also 265 miles from DL2ARD who beat both OM2VL and
9A1P. Are we to consider DL2ARD's QTH to be distinct as well?
215 miles is the distance between Washington DC and New York or Washington
DC and Raleigh. I certainly would consider them to be more or less in the
same area.
