[IRCA] Reporting QTH

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As far as I'm concerned, this is strictly up to the individual 
DXer.  For instance, I decided years ago that I wasn't going to 
distinguish between my own personal records for Grayland and Orcas 
Island, as far as TPs were concerned.... and I haven't and don't plan 
to, EXCEPT where contests require the DXer to be in one location.  In 
a contest, it seems to me that one location means just that.... and 
one is competing with others, so fairness becomes a serious issue.

On the otherhand for the Ultralight "Stations Heard" award, I'm just 
keeping a list from my place in Oklahoma... and totally ignoring the 
150 or so stations that I've logged from Washington state and Peru.

On the Firsts and Records list, we do keep record of the actual 
location of the DXer for each different record.... So some of mine (a 
few) say "Orcas Island," while most clearly say "Grayland."  This is 
the same pattern that I've noticed with the other denizens of Grayland.

Seems to make` sense to me....
