[CQ-Contest] WriteLog for State QSO Parties?

[Tim Childers K9CQ]

In the Illinois QP there are two different designators for moving stations. 
A "mobile" can't work from a county line and are normally operators that try 
to cover as many counties in the contest as possible.  A "rover" is a 
station that works mostly on county lines and might cover 2 or more county 
lines. "Rovers" tend to have a portable type antenna setup and run for 
several hours in on one county line.  The "portable" stations stay on one 
line during the whole contest and are another category.  I believe it is a 
fair way to divide them up because your only competing against similar 
operations.

Tim, K9CQ

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.
