Second QSO WOULD be a dupe since WC4E has already logged N4BP as FL...

No, NA wouldn't know what to do with "DAD" or "BRO". By the way, I too
quickly deleted a follow up post about the N4BP family station.
Actually, my "DAD" passed away several years ago and I don't have a
"BRO". But I do have a sister Sara in Key West (N4BP/SAR). :-)

Yes, 21 QDF files, the main reason I don't want to use two calls (42
QDF files!)
My software can't identify WC4E as a dupe even though it would be for him if
he works me in additional counties on the same band...

The county abbreviations would all have to be added to the COUNTRY.DAT
file in NA for this to work. But the rules seem reasonably clear that
WC4E would log N4BP as FL and not care about a portable designator anyhow...
