I was confused about this; maybe I'm not alone.

I thought, as a Georgia operator, that I could work another station 
in Georgia and get QSO points only once per band.

But, in truth, you get QSO points for Rover stations once per county 
per band.

My logging program wasn't ready for that (it is now :) and I'm 
wondering if other logging programs are aware of this rule.

Programmatically, dupe checking usually happens when the callsign is 
entered.  But if the callsign is a GA rover, the program has to set a 
flag that the same call is  "possible dupe" but won't know until the 
county is entered.

Just a point of concern.  I checked with Mike and the scoring program 
DOES give GA stations a QSO point (or points) for each combination of 
callsign, band and county -- even if the callsign is the same from 
county to county as it is with Rover stations.

Just tryin' to help...
