To have a look at some hypotheticals - Have a look at the Reverse Beacon
Network on http://www.reversebeacon.net/analysis/
I did a comparison between the top three Zone 5 Stations in the CQWW 2020 and
the variation in Signal strengths is significant - Posted to my Facebook page
to share the data images

Some very interesting information is hidden in the analysis tool - obviously
you would have to compare to logs to then work out what each station was doing
but there is significant signal strength differences between stations just in
Zone 5

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.
