[FQP] FQP and county line stations

[Georgek5kg at aol.com]

Bob,
 
Let me side with Charlie and Dan.  In the FQP we do not encourage  making 
"dual" QSOs from county lines, although it is permitted, I suppose.
 
Jim, VE7ZO, and I have operated mobile as K4KG for the  
I-don't-know-how-many-years, and we have never made contacts from county lines  by sending two 
county identifiers in one logged contact.  We have, however,  operated 
occasionally from county lines by working from one county, and then  moving 
"across the line" and working from the other county.  This has  been our 
practice, and will continue to be.  We have broken several records  with this method.
 
Tnx, George

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?
