Randy,
You are assuming that everyone is using a good antenna system. Until
I get the time to go head-to-head with the city of Los Angeles for a
conditional use permit, I am stuck with antenna by Eimac. My trapped
vertical on the roof is pretty close to a dummy load, but when you
pump 1000 watts into it, enough signal leaks out to make some contacts
and have a little fun. This is definitely not W5WMU.

I got to thinking...(obviously a dangerous situation)
WAZ - Western Arizona - DXers would love this one and could get Worked =
All Zones with one QSO
NIL - Northern Illinois - This would be a hard place from which to have =
a Golden Log
SUV - Southern Urban Valley - This one consists of anyone operating from =
a freeway in the Los Angeles basin
CPR - Central Puerto Rico - These are so rare, your heart stops when =
they call you
SID - Southern Idaho - Every time they call, the band goes dead
WAR - Western Arkansas - Don't get in a frequency fight with these guys
NUT - Northern Utah - The crazy guys moved here to get away from the =
Black Helicopters
SRI - Southern Rhode Island - You'll regret operating from here
CIA - Central Iowa - They never ID properly or submit logs
OLA - Outer Louisiana - Always tuning up...always
DOH - Downstate Ohio - Every QSO winds up busted somehow
CPA - Central Pennsylvania - They can account for every contact
OIL - Outer Illinois - Any truth to the rumor that these guys run gas?
EON - Eastern Ontario - Gosh, these operators are slow
IKY - Inner Kentucky - The signals from here are disgusting
WIN - Western Indiana - Obviously, THE place to be in any contest
See you in the PHONE (that's PHONE...not CW) Sweepstakes next weekend.
