It takes a lot of effort to get a big M/M station ready for a  
contest, any contest.

If you look at the rules for domestic contests, most don't allow M/M  
operation. For NAQP, you can operate M/2. That leaves a M/M station  
underutilized, and its only for 12 hours.

I think most superstations are more interested in DX and save their  
energy for the big DX contests.
