The last several hours are mostly 7 stations working each other on the low bands because the eastern half of the country where the big ham populations are has gone to bed. Earning mults for in state counties would make this contest much more fun and interesting.

I'm part of a team that, pre-COVID, has lit up 5-6 rare counties in UT 
and NV for 7QP. We operate from a neat contesting trailer that W6GJB 
built, camp at one setup in the east of the state, work 2-3 hours, break 
down, drive to another site, operate there until we've worked out the 
bands, drive to a third and operate til midnight. We mostly choose sites 
on county lines. In between portable setups, W6JTI runs mobile riding 
shotgun in Glen's pickup. k9yc.com/7QP.pdf

We'll be in Merced county for the first day of CQP.

No! I cited CQP as an example. I have no time for arguments.
