[CQ-Contest] combining state QSO parties

[jim funk]

In addition to the down-sides already mentioned, the lifeblood of state QSO
parties is the mobiles they bring out.  Many of these are out-of-staters who
help in more than one party per year.  Combining all of the parties into one
big hallabaloo (is that a good word?) would significantly decrease the total
interest level, IMO.
