I see a huge problem in sending anything other than the actual state/province in which the transmitter is located. It is patently dishonest.

Maybe that doesn't bother anyone else, and for contesting purpose maybe it would make no difference, but it is still dishonest.

I see no problem defining which state or province - it is the
state/province where the "Master station" belongs.
All the participants use the same call sign and the same report.

 No requirement that the individual stations must be in the same state or
 province?
 Does one send the master station's state, or the state where they are
 actually located?  If the later, it might provide some good practice in
 copying what is actually sent.

 April fools day came early?

 Would love to hear some of the reasoning behind this rather radical new
 (?) category.
