Hi Dave,
No, I didn't miss it. But it's not enough of an incentive, because,
among other things, the mults are worth more than the QSO points,
because working in-state pulls mobiles away from the bands where they
can work distant out of state stations. When you're mobile and have
good (efficient) antennas, band changes are not always easy.

Hi Jim..
You may have missed rule #2 in my short list..It's the one that
provides nice incentive to work Out of state stations.. Based upon my
experience, most of the QP mobile ops run mobile to give out the
counties and will do all they can to work as many stations as possible
-- they're not that concerned about finding mults either..

during the entire contest.
And that incentivizes mobiles to abandon higher bands hours before
they close, shutting more distant stations out of the game. So it
comes down to a decision -- do you want to discourage out of state
participants to get more in-state participants?
