[ILQSO] Logging in The ILQP

[Eric Lorenz K9LGE]

Hi Joe:

Thanks for working the contest...and yes, it is just like you thought-
which is the plus of working from a county line/corner. Now, the logging
can get a little insane...imagine a 4 corner station working another one.
:-) but that's the plus- you can get some good scores. With logging
programs like N3FJP's you can turn off dupe checking so it wont prevent you
from entering them.

73,
