[CQ-Contest] 7QP - Identifying in the contest when you don't have a7-land call?

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

If I were activating a county under this circumstance, on phone I would 
periodically say "NØQXW in Garfield County Montana". And on CW I would sign 
NØQXW/MT periodically, or maybe even NØQXW/MTGAR.

As a "QSO Hunter" I know I would tune past a zero calling CW if there were 
no indication about a 7-Land QTH. The cluster spots will most likely 
identify you in MT, which should help. But many people will not be using the 
cluster so I wouldn't rely on that.
