Weird.

I got a PSE QSL card direct in the mail today from a JA station. On the
back, it says "Please QSL for US county award. Thank you." - and
hand-written in is "ILL WINNEBAGO Co.".

Had to go back and double-check. I've only ever operated from
Winnebago County, Illinois from the mobile - but the QSO was on 20 meters
where I might have worked a JA from the car. But the log shows a mere
half-hour later, I worked two VE3s on 160 meters and then a bunch of DX on
80. I've never worked a DX station from the mobile on 80, nor have I ever
had a 160-meter antenna for the mobile. My home station is 650km from
Winnebago County, so obviously I didn't just go home & work them from the
base station!

But the QSO *does* check with my log; I *did* work this JA at the time
specified, on the band specified.

So where did he get the idea I was in Winnebago County?

Strange.

(I hope he'll still be happy. There's a lot fewer hams here in Cheatham
Co., Tennessee than there are in Winnebago County, Illinois, though
between myself and K4RO, Cheatham probably isn't any rarer!)

Maybe you were passed by an RV while you were talking
to the JA, and you said something about Winnebagos? :-)

Man, I don't want to think about sending the word "Winnebago" on CW!
