[WIQPmail] 2015 Activations by County

Hi, Mike -

In other states, e.g. IL, county line sitting is allowed. This shows up as a 3-fer or 4-fer - multiple exchanges in one qso. The mobile/portable doesn't need to move.  In WI, you need to move across the road or whatever to change counties.

  Tom,


  Per the rules, what does it mean that mobiles or portables may not sit on a county line?  If I was doing a rover operation, would I be required to do multiple equipment set ups, say on opposite sides of the road?  Or do I need to avoid county lines all together.


  Just looking for a clarification on the traditions of the contest.  I appreciate a short list of rules and am not trying to get you to expand what I believe is a concise and very workable rule list.  


  I've been working on a county activation plan and am trying to figure out some routing.  I won't be able to do a mobile setup, so travel time between stops and setups are a definite factor.  And per the request of a previous post, I will for sure publish planned counties and times at least on this reflector.


  Thanks
