[Lothar Sack]

"Call areas are not used as multipliers in any contest of which I am aware.

Bob, that's not quite right, e.g. in the WAEDC-Contest you'll find this 
rule:

6 Multiplier:
...
For European stations every non-European DXCC entity counts as a multiplier.
Exception: In the following countries up to ten call areas count as 
multipliers:
W, VE, VK, ZL, ZS, JA, PY and RA8/RA9 and RAØ -- without respect to the 
geographic location.
Examples: W1, K1, KA1 and K3../1 count as W1; VE1, VO1 und VY1 count as VE1;
JR4, 7M4 und 7K4 count as JA4; ZL2 and ZL6 are two different multipliers.
