<pre wrap="">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.

Glad to see you during the MIQP 2013. Come back often!
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
counties sequentially. This resulted in only one of the counties being ultimately listed on the activity map.
A minor adjustment of the directions to include something like "for mobiles who plan to cover mutiple counties, select the first county on the list, hold down the control key, then
scroll down to the next, click on it, scroll down again to the next, etc......."
Since you were active at the time of these deletions, it probably didn't affect your score. Few serious contesters would be checking e-mail during the contest.
