[CQ-Contest] Announcing the 2025 Pennsylvania QSO Party!

[Jim Brown]

Studying the Rules, I'm pleased to see that PA stations get no mults for 
PA counties, and also awards for QSOs on the higher bands. This 
discourages the self-defeating practice (for the state QSO Party) of 
mobiles abandoning the higher bands to work short hop stations. And it 
means that those of us providing long haul QSOs will hang in.

Other state QSO parties who do allow mults for in-state QSOs would do 
well to follow it. I've abandoned those QSO Parties whose mobiles 
abandoned the higher bands when they were still open. I used to work 
them seriously, even won GA once, but no more.
