[MiQP-Mail] N1IW/8 has submitted MiQP Plans

[Tim Mitchell]

Hank, what you suggest already exists. 

>From the web page: 

"For Mobiles pick multiple counties from the list box below. Typically one uses the control key to select/deselect multiple items in a list box. On the Mac use the command key." 

Selecting multiple items is not unique to this site or to the computer/OS on the clients end. 

Evidence shows instructions are not always read/followed.

>Can't comment on your particular operation, but the explanation of how to submit proposed operation on the entry page seems to confuse many people. It's apparently no obvious to the casual user that if you're a mobile or other type operation which will involve more than one county, you select the first county on the list with a mouse, then depress the "CONTROL" key, and select others. There were several multiple entry messages, spaced a minute or less apart, for some of the mobile operations. I interpreted these as an individual trying to tell us that he/she was planning a mobile operation and was entering the
