Has anyone operated from more than 1000 different geographic locations?
Looks like I have a goal now ;-)

+ AA6YQ comments below
To keep things simple and because I thought there was a limit to number of MYQTH IDs I could create, I have a MYQTH for each County in Florida from which I operate.
+ At present, the maximum number of myQTHs supported by DXKeeper is 4096. Has anyone operated from more than 1000 different geographic locations?
Each one is defined with pri, sec (state and county), grid, cq, itu, etc as per the MYQTH panel. This works for me as each county has anywhere from 3 to 10 pota parks and we move around activating several. Also, some park numbers span multiple counties such as the Florida Scenic Trail and Everglades (or states...think Appalachian Trail) so the park number does not always match 1:1 to a qth (same pri/sec). I use one of the user defined fields to track My_Park for all my pota activations. This field is generated by hamrs automatically into its adif export file.
+ If, say, you're using user-defined field #2 for My_Park, then you can use the QSL Substitution Command
?
<userdefined_2>

+ to print the code of the park you activated on a QSL card or included it in a QSO's "QSL Message" item.
