I'm not for changing the rules but.........
 
If one thinks the difference in propagation relatively minor you haven't  
operated from both places.  I had a friend come down from W2 land years ago  
and worked in the WAE CW.  He was listening on 80 and wanted to know when  
the EU stations got loud.  I told him that was as loud as they usually  get.
 
In the winter K1s can run EU almost 24 hours a day on 40 for CQWW.   Try 
that from here.
 
I'm not saying we don't have advantages, but we do NOT have pretty much the 
 same prop as K1 does.
 
My previous post summed up SE strategy, work quantity and not  quality.  It 
worked for me this year.

In any  case I suspect 
that many of us not living on the east coast find the  distinction 
between Georgia and Massachusetts to be relatively  minor
