[RTTY] STATES AS MULTIPLIERS IN CQWW RTTY DX?????

[W0YR at aol.com]

Guys,

Perhaps I have been asleep for the past ten years, but I don't remember US 
States (48) being useful as multiplier in the CQ WW RTTY Contest.

The exchange... is RS(T) and your CQ Zone, as stated in paragraph VII of the 
official rules.

Yet, in Paragraph X. it reads...

X. Multipliers:  One multiplier point for each U. S. state (48) and each 
Canadian area (14) on each band.

IS THIS TRUE??????

I am looking at the official 2004 rules off the CQ Magazine website.

A little clarification, please!
