[ILQSO] Results

Mark:

In actuality, 4 county line portables only compete with other 4 county 
line portables, etc., so, except for the club aggregate scoring, there's 
no need for having a distinction.

And, there are "about" three times the number of counties if you 
calculate all three county line corners, so that's the "prime" 
location.  Some, of course, are in metro areas, but most are in rural areas.

I do think it is fun to operate from a four county location, but am 
wondering if my sanity will be questioned if I keep driving 400 miles 
one way to a four county location.  :)

I'm all for testing of man and machine as you describe.  Since there are more 3 co corners that 4, could 3 be set as a max (or2)?  The 4 co would still be more desirable to work as he'd be worth 4 to the other operators.  Now if only we could get a high and low power Portable category.....
