[CQ-Contest] QSO Party Rules

[Jim Brown]

I've long enjoyed working QSO parties, and have won a few, but one 
scoring rule for many of them discourage my participation, and caused me 
to avoid them. The rule awarding multipliers to in-state stations for 
their counties causes mobiles to avoid the higher bands while those 
bands are still open, causing me to miss multipliers. I won't be on for 
TXQP and the Salmon Run, both this weekend.

Other parties that I've worked in the past but abandoned for that reason 
include TNQP, NEQP, and PAQP.

Parties that I will work include FLQP, GAQP, 7QP, and CQP.
