[CQ-Contest] CQ-Contest Digest, Vol 103, Issue 40

[Alan Sewell N5NA]

It would have been interesting if the counties had been mults.  But the 
mults were the zeroland states.  Anyone could work anyone.  And it was 
the same weekend as the 7QP, NEQP, and INQP.

I like working mobiles in the state QSO parties.  A mobile would have to 
change states to be able to work him again.
