I've long enjoyed working QSO parties, and have won a few, but one
scoring rule for many of them discourage my participation, and caused me
to avoid them. The rule awarding multipliers to in-state stations for
their counties causes mobiles to avoid the higher bands while those
bands are still open, causing me to miss multipliers. I won't be on for
TXQP and the Salmon Run, both this weekend.
Other parties that I've worked in the past but abandoned for that reason
include TNQP, NEQP, and PAQP.
Parties that I will work include FLQP, GAQP, 7QP, and CQP.
73, Jim K9YC
