[FQP] FQP and county line stations

[k1to at aol.com]

 Bob et al,

County line operations do not usually end up well for the FL stn and here is why:

We have a penalty of one QSO for each QSO removed.  What often happens with a county line contact is that the stn on the other end only logs one of the counties.  Thus, the FL stn gets a not-in-log for the other "contact" that he claimed and with the -1 penalty, it's like the contact never happened.  

 
Thanks for all of your support for the FQP in so many ways, Bob.

73, Dan, K1TO

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?
