"the problem is often between the chair and the transceiver"

Yes of course this top contester told the true, I agree, but there is the word: often...
With respect of top contester, I admire lot's of them...
I do not consider myself a top contester but I think not so bad that at 17-18z when 9A1P made 230+ QSO I was able to made only 80 QSO. I made 2898 QSO, 9A1P made 3193 QSO, so I lost 150 QSO of 300 within one hour, that is the point. 200 miles not too much but counts much in the last 1-2 hours when eg. a band closes. This time I used a 5 ele monobander 21mH (hilltop location, clear shot to USA/JA).
the other point: ".... it's better for central EU to work Asia/JA so..."
Never forget you can win a contest with USA/Eu stations. I made 1200 USA and 300 JA in the contest, that means to me, to be closer to USA is much more advantage than to be closer to JA.

Hi Lacy,

You're right, it's often better to be in Western EU to work US but it's better for central EU to work Asia/JA so...

You should read the 9A1UN's comment operating 9A1P on 15m during the last CQWW SSB ( https://www.3830scores.com/showrumor.php?arg=OjaJz1sgqgcaH )  or look the claimed scores of Multi-Single High, the Multi-Op Multi-Transmitters, the Single-Op low All bands, the Single-Op High all bands or any other single bands categories ( https://cqww.com/raw.htm?mode=ph ) to see from where are most of the EU top scorers.

As says a friend who his now retired of contest but who was a top scorer in Single-Op and Multi-Op categories in the 90's and 2000's : "the problem is often between the chair and the transceiver".
