[PaQSO] bonus points and records?

[Dave Edmonds]

I don't remember working many bonus stations in previous years... I was
introduced to the multi-station concept durin 13 colonies and in 2014 with
the ARRL Centenial Centennial..remember that crazy December? In 2015, we
had multiple WW4SF stations all over the place during the SCQP.. Then I
remember the PAQP that had the multiple stations, could have been 2014 or
2015.

Now we're finally used to that bonus station approach... It sure is better
than having one bonus station worth 100 points...that only operates a few
hours in the contest... anyone experienced that phenom? I have...

I'm shooting for the WAQPs with 1st place category wins. Still striving for
the PAQP win..Picked-up NY, Ohio and others but not the elusive PA. We'll
wait and see.
