[PaQSO] County line scoring

[John Myers]

I do know that my score as reflected by the summary sheet, came out a few thousand lower than what I saw on the screen with N1mm. Not a big deal, because I know they'll corrected at the sponsors end, but I am planning on giving it a second look this weekend to see if I can come up with a reason.

> My understanding, and how I computed my scores for all three years, is that you get only 1 QSO for a county line station; you get multiple county multipliers with one contact but just one Q. And N1MM does not compute that correctly; it creates separate log entries for the counties but with the same serial number ... and it computes your score too high based on those multiple county line Qs.

> One other thing to compute differently from N1MM is that the PA sections count as multipliers (the other area QPs I'm aware of explicitly exclude the home state sections). So you have to add in 2 section multipliers for WPA and EPA (this assumes you contacted counties in both sections, which of course is true for almost everyone). At least the county line problem and the PA section problem offset to some degree.

By far PAQP generates the most after-contest work of all the QPs I play in. But I still wouldn't miss it.
