Scott,

Why would other stations think you were in MN? Your call doesn't indicate that. If you were calling CQ and a non-MN calls you, just put him in the log (or not) and move on. Granted, the QSO won't count, but that shouldn't be a problem. When you send your state in the exchange, the other station should realize you aren't in MN.

I don't know what your CQ was, but if you called CQ MN, or something similar, most stations should get the idea.

In the MNQP yesterday, I found I had to sign "K9MA/WI" when calling CQ,
so callers knew I was not in MN.  A lot of MN stations the duped me, as
I had omitted the /WI when I called them.  So, now there are two
versions of my call in some logs, but I didn't really want to waste time
adding the /WI when calling MN stations.  What to do?  I tried adding
1.5 spaces before the /WI, in the hope that other operators would not
log that part.  I think it would be best if everyone could agree on some
designator for stations outside the target state, or at least not to log
them. Any other suggestions?
