[PaQSO] county Line entry change for N1MM

[John Bednar]

John,

The functionality was added for all QSO parties that exchange counties. 

You missed this in the release note:
"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)"


There was a scoring improvement made in version 13.4.3. Use that version. 
Here is the release note.
"QSO Party County Line: In 7QP/NEWE/IN, allow logging of county line
stations participating in the other two QSO parties. Corrected a scoring
error when logging county line stations. An existing limitation of county
line logging is that the same callsign can not be logged again on any band
or mode until the computer clock advances beyond the time stamp of the last
logged QSO."

I am working on the documentation. I have a few changes to make this weekend
but it's close.

Hi everyone,

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

-- 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.
