               only Tennessee stations.  Stations may be worked once
               per band/mode.  Mobiles may be worked again if they
               change counties.  No repeater contacts allowed;
               packet QSOs must have a licensed operator present at
               both stations.  (no "robots")

               multiplier may be claimed for every five additional
               QSOs with the same Tennessee county.  For example, your
               first QSO with Davidson County is good for one
               multiplier.  If you complete five more QSOs with
               Davidson County (6 total) you may claim two
