[CQ-Contest] CT and 7QP?

[Rex Maner]

I didn't read anywhere that I didn't have to copy counties for W7's  I did 
read however I can work him in a different count and get another Q for the 
score. and on county lines I log him twice ,  If I only put the state He is 
just one QSO no matter how many counties he might want to work me from.  , 
What I want to know has been ask,    HOW  do I do both the   NEQP and 7QP at 
the same time or has somone put the wrong date for one of the test ???
