[CQ-Contest] Borrowing callsigns / location / awards?

[Jim Stahl]

I plead guilty to not putting mobile logs on LOTW. It’s not so much splitting up a log, but for current operations setting up 30+ locations for Ohio, 20+ for Pennsylvania, 18 or so for Florida, plus the occasional visit to New York. And past visits to Michigan, where I’ve probably done 50 different counties over the years.
