Harry, you're just not getting it...

I'm not going to stay home with the intention of maximizing my scores for
WRTC-2010.  My goal -- like most contesters -- is to WIN contests, and MAXIMIZE
score.  Every single time.  Those goals are INCOMPATIBLE with the criteria you
have set up if 50% of the scores required are from the "home area".  Yes, I
certainly can find a good QTH to operate from in Tennessee despite now having
no station of my own.  Would I do that rather than try to place #1 USA or World
in CQ WW or ARRL DX from somewhere else?  Definitely not.  

I'll be out there trying to win these contests or make it as high as I can in
the SOABHP standings like I've done year after year -- and unfortunately that's
not the selection criteria you're asking for to have operators represented at
the event.
