As others have said, a new D4W group is often the easiest way to keep 
track of "old" and "new" QSOs.  I found Kostas' solution particularly 
well-suited.  As for LOTW, you needn't worry about it keeping 
track.  Each of your call signs will have its own LOTW certificate 
which will contain the precise beginning and ending QSO dates/times 
for each call sign so it will know which call sign was used even if 
you don't use D4W to keep track and then you can be like Jim "I Don' 
Need No Stinkin' Groups" Reisert and just use a D4W date filter 
whenever you want to select all of one call sign or another.
