[CQ-Contest] TN QSO Party

[Stephen Bloom]

I'd add FQP to that list as well.    Obviously we'll never be competitive in
that from Alaska, but they manage to keep It interesting for us on whatever
bands are open.  I imagine it is quite good from anywhere in the lower 48.

The CQP and the 7QP do not allow in-state participants to count their own
counties as multipliers. It forces them to look outside their area thereby
increasing the outside participation.
