I agree Greg, Someone on the West Coast of the US is going to have a much 
easier time with the Aisans ans South Pacific Stations then someone on the 
East coast.  Those in the Southern US will have an easier time with South
Americans then those of us in the North.  Let alone those who live in say 
Australia, or Europe, everything is relative and consideration needs to be
made to location, conditions, receiver, antenna, etc...

I personally find others logs to be very helpfull in finding new DXs for 
myself, therefore in my opinion the more logs the better.  However one 
thing that I have found lacking when people post logs to usenet groups, or
sigs is that they often leave out this important information, without this
vital information the logs are not worth much.
