[FQP] FQP and county line stations

[Charlie Wooten NF4A]

This is my PERSONAL opinion of county line operation........Not FCG/FQP

I operate unassisted mobile in every FQP. While I may stop at a county line,
I run each county separately. It is simply for my own reasons.....my logging
program only allows one county at a time.....plus, I find it confusing
(really not the right word...maybe clunky is better) when I am operating in
another QSO Party as a fixed station and I run into multi-county
operation....I have worked, 2, 3, and 4 county line mobiles in non FL QSO
Parties.....I have to log each separately as most everyone has to...

If I am correct, the FQP rules go by the "county hunters" rules....meaning,
no "wet" county lines...meaning no bridges, etc.

Just my 2 cents worth.....take it or leave it.....not really interested in
getting into a full blown discussion about this topic ;)

Hello FQPers...

The Florida QSO Party is one which allows (encourages?) county line 
operations by stations. There are explicit details in section 7) 
Scoring, (B) Multipliers, (2) paragraph which state: /"//Florida 
stations on a county line may be claimed as a QSO and a multiplier from 
each county (2 QSO's and 2 multipliers)//"./

I am interested to know how county-line stations log contacts during the 
contest. During FQP I might hear "CQ FQP de W4XYZ/LAK/POL/SUM" where a 
station is operating from the corners of Lake, Polk, and Sumter.

In my log, I end up with three W4XYZ QSOs in a row, with each unique 
county designator assign to each QSO. This is straight forward.

My questions are regarding what logging software do you use as a 
county-line station? And what is the process for logging these multiple 
contacts? Do you log them as three QSOs at that moment, or one QSO and 
expand the log later, or what?
