That's funny. I thought the ARRL 10 meter contest, which does include mults
for working the various states of Mexico, was still an ARRL contest.
...the background? It's quite simple. Once upon a time, the ARRL included
both the US and Canada. So many contests, such as the ARRL DX contests, were
ARRL-covered areas working everyone else in the world (and vice versa).
The ARRL Canadian Division eventually became the independent CRRL, which
eventually merged into today's RAC. But the contests were never changed to
reflect that "ARRL" was no longer "US & Canada" but just "US". (Should they
have been? IMHO, no. Not that my opinion matters on anything.)

The thing I've always wondered about is why Mexico is NOT included in
ARRL contests. Maybe some of you can provide background as to why they
are not included.
