[Dx4win] Combining Logs

[Dick Flanagan K7VC]

I use group numbers to both differentiate between callsigns and contests.

My earlier callsign defaulted to Group 0 and various contests were Groups 
1, 2, 3, etc. up to about 17 when I changed callsigns.

I then chose to use 20 as the default for my new callsign and now contests 
start from there, 21, 22, 23, etc.

YMMV, but it has worked well for me.

73, Dick
