| Independent cities are found in
Virginia, Nevada and the District of Columbia. These are cities
which by history, tradition or law that are not a part of the surrounding
counties. The USA-CA rules say that if you work a station which is
located within any Independent city, you may count that contact for any
one of the counties which border that city. This may be done ONE
time only.
In most cases, the city is completely surrounded by the
county and you must use that county. Therefore, if an independent
city borders two or more counties, you get to choose the one you wish to
count, but any further contacts with that city may NOT be counted for any
other surrounding county.
