>From the USACA rules, under County Idendity, is the following: 4. In the case of cities, parks, or reservations not within counties proper, applicants may claim any one of the adjoining counties for credit (once).
I never agreed with this rule when I was chasing counties, always thought one should work stations actually in the county for the contact to be valid for that county, but that's the rule. 73, Tim - N3XX ----- Original Message ----- From: "BOB MUELLER" <[email protected]> To: "Neal Campbell" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 19, 2010 11:09 PM Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Hampton County/VA in data base Hi Neal, You probably known that there are about 41 Independent Cities in Virginia. Generally, they can be counted for the county in which they are located. However, there are a few Independent Cities that straddle two or more counties. Not certain how hams in those few cities determine for which county they are counted. Perhaps it is a proximity thing (i.e. which county are they closest to.) I presume then, that it may be up to the individual Virginia ham to decide which county to claim as theirs for purposes of county awards. I am attaching the map, table and directions (ZIP FILE) for the CQ USA-CA Award for your info. It may be useful. 73, Bob K6ASK ________________________________ From: Neal Campbell <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Fri, March 19, 2010 3:54:12 PM Subject: Re: [Dxbase] Hampton County/VA in data base Hampton (and, as its known to us semi-locals, Hampton Roads) is indeed a City.
