2013 ARRL International DX CW

My first list after importing my adif file from N1MM Contest Logger into DXLab DXKeeper computer log. I recently read that low band propagation may eclipse the high bands in the near future? Perhaps, near future, is beginning to happen a little sooner than generally thought as Cycle 24 begins its historical climax. However, perspective is a matter of location in the game of RadioSport, and a DX event, is dramatically different on the West Coast.

RadioSport Is Reciprocal
The game is reciprocal that is logging stations on the Pacific Rim, Asia, and Oceania from the East Coast is a challenge as well. The difference, at least from my perspective, is access to multipliers via each respective path. Certainly, and I'm agreeable, that leveling the playing field is untenable because of geography, station configurations, and personal priorities.

I believe leveling the playing field stands in the way and this argument needs taken to the proverbial glue factory.

West Coast Mojo
Instead, like any other sport, if an individual or a team wants the Box score, then let them build the station necessary for achieving that rank. What is wrong with drive, motivation, channeling personal resources, dedication, personal pride, and team work? There is nothing askew about those personal characteristics.

Additionally, I believe the challenge of building a competitive RadioSport station on the West Coast, builds character as well.

Who wouldn't want to be the first to beat the East Coast giants of RadioSport?

Contest on.
