One of the great things about taking the contesting commentary out of the printed page and putting them up on web sites is the fact that electrons are a lot cheaper then paper and mail -- meaning more information can be posted online than printed.The upshot? Contesting isn't fair. All one needs to do is look at the contest rules and figure out where to go to maximize the score.Most of us, however, are not that fortunate to travel where the points are high and the winning is easy. Instead, we contest from our homes, wherever they may be, and do the best we can. We contest for our goals, our fun, and our reasons.But, if we give an all out effort from a geographically challenged area (my only lot in life...), our efforts are ignored on the printed page and the glory goes to those who are fortunate enough to be located in the right location with corresponding skills.However, there is an effort to recruit those who can write about the "regional" effort put forth by contesters and publish the stories in the online version of the contest results. These regional writeups really tell the story of the contest for where the contester is located.Whether it is the Black Hole of the Midwest or the the propagation lost in the Pacific Islands during the noon hours, we can have our triumphs, challenges and victories for the region that we operate.Contact your favorite contest sponsor and ask to do a regional writeup of the activities in your area. It will make us all be winners in the contesting game.Scot, K9JY
