[PaQSO] county Line entry change for N1MM

[John Myers]

Hi everyone,

sorry, no rap videos tonight. Instead, Here's something I gleaned from the
N1MM update page.

QSO Party: A significant portion of the QSO Party code has changed for all
QP's. The overall QSO Party operation needs testing well in advance of
every contest for the next year. Report any issues found. (coded by K3CT)
-- County Line Home Operator: Added optional county line exchange entry for
county line QSO's. Users can enter multiple county line exchanges separated
with "/" in the Exchange box. The first county entered is used for
validation and to set the text color (multiplier indicator). When the QSO
is logged, multiple QSO's will be added to the database with the same
received serial number. If the contest exchanges serial number and the
sending station sends unique serial numbers for each county line QSO, enter
as separate QSO's or quick edit the exchange after logging. The shorthand
exchange entry for 7QP is supported for the 7QP QSO party contest only.
Shorthand support for the other contests this weekend will be added as time
permits.

There's also a county line mode included. Both seem to have started with
version 13.04.02, which I downloaded last weekend.

If I'm reading it right, this will be a big help in the logging department.

While it doesn't mention the PA QSO Party specifically, I'm hopeful that
this functionality will be added to the PA Party in time for this years
party.

I'm hoping I get a chance to check it out in tomorrows MIQP.
