I think I mentioned this before but didn't hear back any 
comments.

Why not make NQ4I (or W4AN - if they use that call) as the 
official club station of the GQP
sponsor, which is the SECC. You would get bonus points every 
time you work them.
I think they do something like this in the PA QSO party.

I have no problem if Rick's station does M/M in GQP. The 
more fixed stations that are on from
GA the better.>>

Unless the goal is to make it a single station contest, it 
just makes no sense at all. Why would I get on with a dipole 
and 100W if someone with all the advantage in the world over 
me had a further unwarranted advantage of being worth "extra 
points"??

Let's think about the little guy for a change in at least 
one contest. This entire topic shows a total lack of 
sensitivity to people who just want to have some small 
contest where they have a chance to shine against the big 
guns.

ME/M's should just stay in the ten or so contests they 
dominate all year and leave the small QSO parties for normal 
stations to enjoy.
