The issue could be as simple as US postal state designations. A resident of
Washington DC uses what abbreviation for their postal address?
I use Augusta, GA. 'GA' being the key. If they use MD, then they don't
need a separate multiplier, if they use DC, then maybe they do.
Does this really need to be rocket science? It is only a contest. As for
the decision, the more important factor should be the consistency of the
contests within a common organization. The ARRL should either have it a
multiplier in all their band contests or not, but certainly not in some
bands and not in others.
My opinion.
FWIW
Hope to meet you all on the air multipliers or not. :)
