If Mixed:
  Mults count on both modes : Y
  Work same stn both modes  : Y

Work Florida Stations only:
Send RST + DX
Receive RST + County (3-letter code).

Florida stations on a county line may be claimed as a QSO
and a multiplier from each county (2 QSOs, 2 multipliers)

Mobiles/Rovers are supposed to sign Callsign/County and
that's the way they must be logged - otherwise they'll
be flagged as dupes.  Mobiles on county lines must be
entered as 2 separate QSOs  - for example, N4AA/SEM and
N4AA/WAG - and the county code must be repeated in the
county/area field.  You do have the option, in SD, to
log these QSOs as N4AA/M or N4AA/R (Rover) and they will
not be flagged as dupes.

After the contest, use SDCHECK to create your Cabrillo
format .LOG file and email it to FLQSOParty at aol.com
