It may get favorable reviews for "level playing field" in terms of
location/antenna advantages.  However, if one sorts the results by
QSOs or "net QSOs" (QSOs minus busted Qs), the results are very
different.  The "winners" were all local (UA3, ES, LY) teams who
made fewer QSOs but took advantage of their knowledge of local
propagation to find a significantly greater number of multipliers.
