Right. VY2ZM is so far east and north and in Canada where points are
different for USA contacts, so it no longer matters. Non-issue totally.
The USA is still close, but here are some statistics to Germany:
My QTH 42 degrees 4644 mi 1885 miles to clear saltwater (VO1)
W1 50 degrees 3706 miles 886 miles to clear saltwater (VO1)
VY2 3195 miles 460 miles to clear saltwater (VO1)
