I didn't read anywhere that I didn't have to copy counties for W7's I did
read however I can work him in a different count and get another Q for the
score. and on county lines I log him twice , If I only put the state He is
just one QSO no matter how many counties he might want to work me from. ,
What I want to know has been ask, HOW do I do both the NEQP and 7QP at
the same time or has somone put the wrong date for one of the test ???
