[DXLog.net - Support] Modifying copntests

[charlie carroll]

Jim:
"...do mobile stations change the report in the software when they 
change county?"  Absolutely, and the score is incremented accordingly 
with each new QSO in a different county.  As soon as I go across the 
county line from Indian River to Brevard county, the report changes from 
599IDR to 599BRE.  Plus, the F1 CQ message changes too.  This same 
action happens with each change of county.  In a typical weekend, we 
will go through 40 to 50+ counties.

As for your second question, I can not speak specifically to it, other 
than I believe QSOs count for dual counties and QSOs if you are on a 
county boundary (check out 25 deg, 48.320' N and 80 deg, 52.386' W, the 
intersection of Monroe, Collier, and Miami-Dade counties and in the 
boondocks of the Everglades). Some mobile stations only visit a limited 
number of locations and try to hit as many multiple boundary locations 
as possible.  On the other hand, other mobiles stay in motion the 
majority of the time and try to visit a larger number of counties.
