[OhQP-mail] Help - Selecting OQP sites in rarer counties-

[w3hkk at roadrunner.com]

I notice more clubs operating  several stations from several different counties, and am looking for a few basic tips that  I could apply to the local club at the next OQP.  

IE

-how did you handle the club call sign at multiple QTHs in different counties?
How does that affect the Club score?
-how did you go about selecting the specific  QTH in each county?  ( my "perfect" qth would be a rural house/cottage/farm/structure (NOT a campsite/tent)  that provided access the day before for antenna hanging and the day after for take down.
-what were the  problems you had to resolve to get approvals to set up and operate?
-what were the types of qth's you  had the luxury of chosing from?
-Important factors to me would be:  availability of commercial power, a weatherproof structure large enough for 5-6 people, freedom from local  noise ( trucks-ignition-power line- people), screened or enclosed to minimize mosquitos and other insects, with access to a toilet.)
-renting a place for a nominal fee for Friday night and Sat night would be worth it, if necessary.
 
Any thoughts or experiences you would like to share?

PS  Counties of interest to me include:  Knox, Hocking, Perry, Muskingum, Coshockton, Morgon, Noble.

PPS  I once contacted a local  ARC in a rare county  and asked if there were any QTHs I could set up in and operate from for OQP.  I wound up with an offer to use a brother's garage, nicely enclosed and with electricity, bath and running water, with 4 nicely spaced tall trees to hang my 80m horizontal loop.  It worked out  great although I had to sleep in my car.)   So clearly ONE option is to contact the  ARCs in the county you are interested in to see what they might offer.
