NO IT DEPENDS ALOT ON ANTENNA HEIGHT AND THE TYPE OF ANTENNAS YOU ARE
RUNNING. THERE ARE STATIONS SEVERAL MILES AWAY FROM ME THAT HEAR ALOT OF
THINGS I CAN'T BECAUSE THEY HAVE BETTER ANTENNA SYSTEMS.

YES, BUT IT YOU LIVE IN DN32 YOU HAVE NO CHANCE OF WINNING THE CONTEST,
UNLESS THERE IS A GREAT 6 METER OPENING WITH SOME 2 METER ESKIP THROWN IN
AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT UNLESS YOU ARE A BIG GUN
STATION, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WIN THE CONTEST, AND THEN YOU END UP JUST
DOING IT FOR THE FUN OF IT.
