Tom, could the fact that Missouri has more syllables and letters in =
it's
name (3 syllables, 8 letters) than does Kansas (2 syllables, 6 =
letters),
have anything to do with it?  After all, 6 letters divided by 8 letters =
is
75%, and  1066 KS QSO's per contest divided by 1394 MO QSO's per =
contest
equals 76%.  Is it just coincidence?   Or does it have deeper meaning?

Bill and others who don't have thin skin,
(this is intended as a rebuttle to Bill's jab at Missouri contesters =
for not
holding up and equal number of operators in an earlier post)

Since you started the hub bub...

With the entries by

AA0FO, AK0A, K0BJ (even though he's out of the circle), K0GY, K0LLS, =
K0VBU,
KG=D8UA, W0MW all from Kansas And AE9B, K0CA, K0OU, KB0VVT, KG=D8US, =
KG=D8UT (the
last three in the same
family) all from Missouri

Using the ARRL DX SSB, DX CW, RTTY roundup, 10M, 160M, Sweepstakes SSB =
and
CW contests.

Here are the breakdowns
                                    KANSAS  MISSOURI
# Operators                       8                    6
# Contest Entries               10                 11
Total QSO's                    7663           9756
Ave QSO / Contest         1066           1394
Ave QSO/ Operator        958             1626

So Bill, You can see from the statistics above that Kansas did in fact =
have
more operators (as you said) Even though K0BJ is outside the circle and
accounted for 3031 or over 40% of the KS QSO's (way to go Bruce) You =
can
also see that Missouri, due to our inferiority complex, gets more out =
of
their operators, then Kansas does. What do you say about that?
