After examining the Cabrillo file which the log generated, I see it awarded 2 Qs  (but 1 serial number, as I believe it should) for each county line station, and either 2 or 4 points (which I think should be 1 or 2) depending on the mode.

That is correct-County lines give you the 1 QSO and multiple mults.

Check to see if there might be a DEL (Section)  and DCO (Delaware County) mixup in there.

Regarding the phantom multiplier I'm simply stumped, so I ignored it, I'm not counting it.   I have one dupe which I logged and was awarded 0 points as it should have.  I'm hoping I can now upload the Cabrillo file that it generated, as is, plus the Summary PDF that N3LI has made available, with the correct number of points/qsos/mults/bonus inserted.  Does this sound like an acceptable plan?


The PDF summary is the gold standard. We have quirky things in the party that are not always covered by logging programs. If you like, I can look at the file to see if I can find the issue.
