[PaQSO] WinEQF Question -- County Line Station

[Mark J. Schreiner]

I had used KA3JWE's logging program in the past which worked well for 
me.  I don't have an issue with JWE not supporting it anymore, but it 
looks like he only supported COM port CW keying and I prefer LPT port CW 
Keying.  Also, I'm going to be using a laptop that has one serial and 
one parallel port and I would like to use the COM port for rig control 
(so I don't have to forget to change band/mode in the log).  So, I 
downloaded WinEQF to give it a try.  I have used it for other contests 
in the past, such as ARRL November Sweepstakes, so I'm familiar with 
it.  I just tested it out and it seems to operate the CW okay when I set 
the priority to "HIGH" and the rig control seems to be working great, so 
the computer, even though it is an old 120 MHz machine with W98SE and 
only 40 MB of RAM seems like it should be okay.

Okay, so I figure I can easily take care of the scoring for bonus 
stations after the contest as well as a multiplier for QRP in case it 
doesn't do that automatically, but how do I log County Line stations 
with WinEQF?  I never really understood the concept of logging them 
anyway, do they count as separate QSOs or only one QSO but with two or 
more multipliers?  The rules, as well written as they are this year, 
didn't really seem to specify how they are logged. 

Maybe I should use a different logging program, but the main reason I 
thought I would try WinEQF is because I've used it previously and it 
supports LPT CW and COMport rig control as JWE's program does not.  I 
did like how JWE's program handled EVERYTHING else with scoring, though.

73 and see you from MIF!  Thanks in advance for the replies.
