[CQ-Contest] WriteLog for State QSO Parties?

[Dave Edmonds]

I work just about every QSO party on the planet. I use N3FJP and it handle
county lines for mobiles very well. I’ve heard many times that there aren’t
mobiles inthe California QP. One reason is that counties are large. Another
reason is that county line op isn’t allowed.

I believe that by allowing county line contacts, mobile stations could run
a few county lines in during the contest.

I’d make sure that mobiles are competing against other mobiles too.
