I think that the sponsors wish to encourage more QSOs & activity in their contests and think this helps.

That takes most of the fun out of it for out-of-state participants, which is chasing mobiles around the state, catching them before they are spotted. That's especially true when they're on opposite sides of the country.

I've long loved the big state QSO parties, but have abandoned those whose rules give mults for in-state Qs to in-state participants, which causes them to abandon the higher bands as the day goes by.
