Nigel,
  Think of them as "mini-contests"  where the multipliers are the counties 
in that particular state.  They usually last around 12 hours.  A lot of the 
participation from outside the state are ops going after the US-CA (Worked 
all US Counties) award.  I participated in the Michigan QSO party last 
weekend and since I am in a fairly rare county, I generated several pileups 
and have already got several QSL requests from stations I worked.  Anyone 
can play in them - DX included.
