A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, there used to be a time when
conditions were just right that stations in the West had a fleeting
chance to win a DX contest. This was the time when you could run JA's
for hours and hours. That ship sailed long ago.
It will be curious to hear the rest of this story.

As a frequent serious contester from the Midwest, it's almost
impossible to beat the east coast stations on any context where the Q

As such, I would suggest that someone contact the op directly for
comment. Instead of spreading all this nonsense about what may or may
not have happened.
The clear insinuation is thick; suggesting that he's a cheater. So
man-up and call it that. Or - find some way to contact the gentlemen
and ask for clarification.
But don't take this pathetic path of smearing the guys reputation
absent some serious attempt to get the story straight. We are, after
all, in the ham biz, and not in the click-bait biz. At least I
thought we were...

Say it isn't true!
A prominent right-coast Hall-of-Famer admits, in a public forum, that
a winning DX score from Zero-Land Black Hole is highly questionable!
K0SR vindicated! Gasp!

Would absolutely love to hear the details about how this fabulous low
power score was achieved from America's heartland. Where did the
operation actually take place? What were the antennas used? How did
the operator overcome the normal East Coast advantage, particularly
on the lower bands. Inquiring minds ...
