[CQ-Contest] DC and NAQP

[Jim Jordan]

IMHO this(that DC is a top level political subdivision) is the one single, 
logical, reasonable, equitable, fair (I'll stop here with synonyms) reason 
that DC should be a separate multiplier. Not for historical reasons, not to 
make it more fun for the residents, not to be another multiplier, not to 
have another multiplier to chase, and not to bash, or honor, our UNITED 
states government which is headquartered there. We could make all those 
other arguments for making most any other state capital, city or county a 
multiplier. If the contest sponsors will simply strike one blow for 
CONSISTENCY, DC will be a multiplier and the gazillion electrons we are 
rearranging in this thread would be irrelevant.

73,

Jim, K4QPL
