[SCCC] Operating on a County Line - LOTW

[Dennis Younker NE6I]

Thanks Greg and others. This makes sense although I'm not sure if a minute
will be enough. I believe there is a small window where QSOs match even if
the timestamps are slightly different at each end. Regardless, I guess it's
actually moot since as you say, LOTW does not support USA-CA or any other
county awards at this time. I'll remind the person that brought this up of
this fact.

This came up in the LoTW email discussion group recently. Apparently, LoTW
doesn't support multiple counties per entry at this time because it doesn't
support any awards that require county information. So, in order to confirm
a contact from more than one county, you would need to upload a separate
record for each county. You can't just upload the same ADIF file for each
county, though, because if the timestamp and callsign of a particular record
matches one that's already on LoTW, the second one will replace the first
one. So, you need to change the time for the second contact by a minute or
more to avoid this replacement. Caveat: 
While the person who explained it seems to know what he's talking about, I
have not idea whether that's actually true or not ... but it's believable.
