Exactly ... it's like all other contests ... you find a spot, it's 
yours.  This usually works fine with "home" stations, but it's tough for 
a mobile to hold his own.  The out of state guys are mainly the ones who 
asked for a kind of "mobile window" so the weaker mobile signals aren't 
being clobbered by the home stations.

Of course, we don't know what it sounds like from the "other side", but 
if some are saying there's a problem ... then we'd like to fix it to 
make it better.  If this helps, then we can give it a try.  Of course, 
being only a "suggestion", so no one is forced to follow it.
