[ILQSO] Logging in The ILQP

[Joe]

I had a blast in the ILQP a few weeks ago.  Being an ex pat (I grew up 
and first became licensed in Schaumburg) IL always will be a somewhat 
home to me.

This contest is very similar in format to the WIQP.  But with the 
Multiple counties thing being the only difference. Really.

In the rules it says,

"Contacts with/by stations at the border of 2 counties count as 2 
counties and 2 QSOs; the border of 3 (or 4) counties count as 3 (or 4) 
counties and 3 (or 4) QSOs."

Being out of the state it was easy to do the logging when some IL 
station was on a county line, Ya just logged them twice or more times 
with the different county entered, so the logging program would accept 
it just fine. And I in Wisconsin get a quick multiple QSO's and possible 
new mults.

But it to me is not clear as to how does a qso like this work for the IL 
station?

Example.

Say the IL station is on two counties.  I work him from here in Sauk 
County WI.  I get two Qso's And whatever mults that are new.

But how is this worked for the IL station?

I assume it counts as two QSO's Or does it?  And then How does the IL 
station log it so it doesn't end up looking like a dupe? Because it may 
be worth two different easily logged QSO's for me.  but on His end it is 
two sontacts with me in WI with the same county and it for every 
practical reason looks like a dupe.  How does that work? And how does 
one make any logging program accept it and not call it a dupe?
