Jim,
The problem is the most of the contests used for scoring are DX contests ,
which the New England
area has a great advantage over everyone. I think the W4 area - at least where
I am is more equal to
W5 than it is W1-W3. Even NM can't be that bad of a place. Look how well N2IC
does in DX contests.
