[Dxbase] Hampton County/VA in data base

Fri Mar 19 23:09:08 EDT 2010

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

Hampton (and, as its known to us semi-locals, Hampton Roads) is indeed a
City. Sri!
But I do plan to do a complete review of the counties per state with the new
release!
