A US station can work 4 other US stations in less time than one DX
station, now they don't need DX any more. Then tou have a new SS with
some idiots in the DX side.
And about the 30/36/48 hours of contest, use your imagination:
************ ************ ************ ************
this is 48 hours of FULL propagation from the wining places
(say 9Y, VP2, P4, 3V8,etc).
############ ############ ############
the rest of the troup have AT LEAST 36 hours of FULL propagation (W, JA,
LU, I, G, VK, etc.)
************ ************ ************
############ ############ ############
Now THE BEST can WIN.
PS: Hope some day I'll write better in english.
