[Dx4win] County designators

Jim,

That's what I have been doing. You are right about the weird ones (St. Louis
vs. Saint Louis county for example). Thanks for the reply.

Rick, what I do is use the F1 key in the county field.  This brings up the 
list of counties.  Start typing what the other station sends, and let the 
window be your guide.  This only fails when counties have strange 
abbreviations, like SLC for "Saint Louis [County]" and "STL" for "Saint 
Louis City" (recent MO QSO Party county abbreviations).

Print out the contest rules, keep them nearby for these "special" cases.
