[CQ-Contest] DC and NAQP

[Bill Parry]

The way I understand it, Texas has the right to divide into 5 separate
states if it wants to. I think that it would be great if a line were drawn
south of San Antonio and we could call it the Commonwealth of Tacos. 

On second thought, what's the rush.  Maybe we could talk about this for a
few more years. I think that we could increase the number of multipliers
(which seems to be the current thinking as to what causes fun).  Let's
change the multiplier to your telephone area code. This will make the
contest lots and lots more fun.

Hmmmm.

Along that line of thought the logical, parallel step is to include ALL the
independent, sovereign nations within the borders of the contiguous USA.

I am referring to the Native American Nations.  Physically, many are larger
than many of the eastern states.  Many of the "Res'" are much more populated
than DC.

Just think of the opportunities of more multipliers, exotic expeditions to
entities where no licensed amateurs reside, AND the awards (WAR = Worked All
Reservations).

With my right tongue firmly implanted on the inside of my left cheek.

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
