[PaQSO] Scoring question

[Bob Rossi]

I still don’t understand why the mobile/rover total contest county/section
multiplier is used for each county a mobile/rover operates from.
Like Tom originally asked - “How can you work 53 counties and 57 sections
while only having 44 QSOs?”


The individual county score should only include those multipliers worked
from that county. After all, it’s the score for that county.

Sure, the total mobile/rover score should include all the multipliers.

If you look at some of the PaQP results from the mid 90s (when the rover
was first added), you will see individual rover county scores only included
multipliers worked from that county. That makes perfect sense to me.

And the overall total score includes all multipliers. And that makes
perfect sense to me.

For example, in the 1998 PaQP results, my rover operation scores looked
like this

NA2X/R – 3 Pa counties

        CW80    CW   SSB   QSOs   Cos  Sec  SCORE
CRN    0          0      264     264         52    23   20,500
ELK     0          0      176     176         43    20  11,588
WAR  130       62      112    304          56   28   39,960
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total  130       62       552     744         65    32   89,885


All the rover and mobile scoring was done this way.

To me, somewhere along the line, something that made sense changed to
something that doesn’t make sense.
