[CQ-Contest] Multiple QP Contests / Standard County Codes

[Dave Edmonds]

Hi Bob

I didnt know about these county codes. I’m imagining this exchange while
working K8MR/m at 42 wpm. Most of the QP county codes are similar to the
county name, but there  are exceptions... like some of those things n the
 VAQP or NewEng QP (every QP has them).
