    Okay, everyone back in your corners! ;^)

    One of the first things to clear up is that if a software log 
program needs to use a /R in order to log multi station Special event 
Stations, our contest software has no problem with that. What counts for 
mobile or rover is what is put on the summary sheet. If the log software 
wants county names, then that is cool too.

    There is no problem there at all. If your software can't handle it, 
then it probably didn't handle PAQSO party req's before.
