[SECC] 2021 GQP

[Bill Coleman]

There are some downsides to having multipliers per band, in the way it affects the activity. 

What’s the right strategy — the stay on the band that is producing lots of Qs, or run off to another band that has less Qs, but will harvest more multipliers?

The result is that a lot of stations might spend time on  bands where propagation is marginal or non-existent.

Multipliers per band might result in higher scores, but less overall contacts. I don’t know if that’s a good tradeoff.

A crazy idea to encourage in-state activity would be to count each S/P as a multiplier PER BAND.  Of course this would mean a MAJOR contest software re-write, so its likely not practical for 2021.
