   F   W   I   W    !    (FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH).

Come on guys, and Gals.  Let's be sensible.

Operating aeronatutical mobile would only be beneficial to the contacted.  Giving
out rare counties would only benefit the contacted.
Same for County-Line operations. 
Think about that for a moment.  Do I have a need to contact some Mobile (aero or not),
or some Co/Line station?  Of course.  That might be just the mult I need. 
(Mobiles do have a reason for doing what they do, because they are truly competing
for score in each county)
County-Line stations do not compete against another C/L on the same 'line'. There 
just ain't any !

You want to try aeronautical mobile? Fine.  BUT, don't try giving out specific counties.
Besides being dangerous, you aren't going to put in a whole lot of hours. AND, how
would the FAA handle complaints etc. etc.  (And - a long trailing antenna?)

My suggestion?  Glad you asked !
Go ahead and get up there and have a ball - FLYING. Take along a buddy to do the
opeating, and you stick to the flying.  Stay over one, and ONLY one, county, Preferably
the one from which you took off, or at least stay within a mile or so of that particular
county.  Have your buddy give out ONE county.  AND, PLEASE, DO IT SAFELY.
