Or 'by call area' as it's often referred to...
 
I think the dx op is the only benefactor in this scenario, and even then only if it doesn't backfire on him/her.  I know that on the rare ocassions I get involved (from the pileup end) in a 'call area' pileup, when I work him/her it's as if I did it under some kind of handicap. Victory becomes less savory when the road to it was TOO easy. Where's the satisfaction in that? 
 
I know some of you may be wondering 'Yeah, but what about the guy/girl in an apartment with a cheapo wire antenna and QRP?' Ah.. but that's what makes the top ops... *top* ops.
