I'll second that motion Jeff - although this has been discussed before,
it's been a while.
I would like a generalized QSO Party module although I realize keeping a
running score of each could be a real bitch to code. Maybe keeping a
claimed score isn't so important? Yes, log checking simply ignores Qs made
outside of their time or wrong mode .. or wrong party. (I know that's true
for many but I haven't checked them all)
I have tried logging multi-party by picking one state and then logging with
SHIFT-ENTER for the "wrong" mult name. However some QP modules don't allow
four characters or have some other restriction so be careful. I don't know
of one that could be "universal". Maybe the simplest solution is a QP
module that allows ANY mult name without complaint? And doesn't bother to
keep score. When working from outside the state it's not difficult to keep
a mult list for each QP on a piece of paper if that's of interest (It is to
me).
