[Dx4win] I'm sure I'm not the first...

Hi Dick

I have my ordinary call SM4WGB in one logbook, saved as sm4wgb.dxl
My contest call SM4W is in another logbook saved as sm4w.dxl
When I want to see the combined DXCC or IOTA result I start one of them.
Then I merge the other by File | Import/ Export, then File | Merge DX4WIN log
where I select the other log.
Then I save the new combined log as sm4wwgb.dxl You can chose any name...
In that manner I can see whichever award I like, DXCC, IOTA or ...

That is one exemple, another is by giving groupnumbers, but I prefer to keep the two logs separate
and merge them when needed.
I am told I do not need another registration.
Best 73s de Lars / SM4WGB with SM4W in contest
