[CQ-Contest] Tennessee QSO Party 2017 - Sunday September

[Jim Brown]

Hi Dave,

No, I didn't miss it. But it's not enough of an incentive, because, 
among other things, the mults are worth more than the QSO points, 
because working in-state pulls mobiles away from the bands where they 
can work distant out of state stations.  When you're mobile and have 
good (efficient) antennas, band changes are not always easy.

73, Jim
