<div>There's an old contesting adage that you log what you hear, and you can't
go wrong with that.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But in your logger, you can save a little typing if you log just the
base callsign in the callsign field and the county/state into the
exchange field. After the first Q with a particular station, the logger's
Dupe indication should go away as soon as you enter a different county, so this
shouldn't be a problem. FWIW, our log check software automatically removes
appended info if it matches the exchange info. This makes dupe checking more
reliable.</div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>On-the-air protocol is a different matter.
Mobiles/portables/rovers usually append their current county to their
callsign. This is a clue that the next time you hear him, his county will
probably be different and you can work him again. Also, out-of-state fixed
stations calling CQ often append their state to avoid calls from other
out-of-staters.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The protocol stuff is more important on CW but something equivalent is
usually used on phone. Of course there are variations among different ops.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I hope this helps and thanks for coming to Wisconsin!</div>

<div dir="ltr">My two cents worth.....I signed NR0T/county.
<div>My reasoning was that this would create a unique callsign in the other
ham's database. Otherwise they would get a DUPE notification from their
logging software.
<div>Most software packages either allow DUPES or give the option of Rejecting
or Allowing Dupes.</div></div>
<div>It is also obvious to the people answering my CQ that I have changed
county without having to wait for me to make an exchange.</div>

<div>My first time doing WIQP so need to ask. Some stations who were
mobile signed with their call / county and other just their call and a
couple did it differently in different counties. What is the
appropriate way to log these so as to not confuse your robot?</div>
