And let's not forget the District of Columbia, which isn't off-shore,
but often has more active hams in contests than either Dakota.
OOPS... I forgot... DC operators can't give DC as their location in the
NAQPs, so a QSO with a DC station doesn't count as a mult. You'd never
know if we're active.
Which makes me wonder... if I say I'm in Maryland, am I violating FCC
Regulations by falsly stating where I am transmitting from?
Any legal ramifications? Fraud? Perjury?
Hmmm...
