[CQ-Contest] In-state stations in QSO Parties...

[Rex Lint]

If you log mobiles that sign as W4XXX/CTY as "W4XXX/CTY", then the logging
sw will tell you if you worked W4XXX in county CTY: it will say "DUPE".

I would suggest that in state stations should not sign  /CTY if they  are 
not mobile or otherwise changing counties. Every time I hear that from a  
station that I do not think is a mobile, I have to check to see if that /CTY
is 
 the same as when I worked him before.
 
Better to sign W3WW/4 or W3WW/FL.

FL QP is  different in that an out of state station can actually run FL
stations to  rate.  I was doing this on Sunday when NQ4I called me, gave me
5nn GA,  I gave him 5nn MA, and we both probably realized around the same
time,  "oops...this one don't count!"  Then Rick called me on phone a  few
minutes later just to make sure.

The "CQ FQP" or "CQ FL" is a  fine line...I thought stations signing with
their county in the CQ made  things easier.  The stations signing /county
added some confusion the  first few times; maybe just "CQ FQP NA4XYZ BRE"
makes more sense.

In  any case, it was fun.
