Hal, I'm not trying to single you out, but I'm not sure why anyone
needs group #s for multiple callsigns (from the same QTH) in a single
log, if there is no overlap by date.  For example, I have WN1UHA,
WA1UHA and AD1C QSOs my log.  I do not use group numbers to separate
them.  I created three Selections by date that cover the date ranges
these calls were used.

If I want DXCC status that covers the whole log, I do nothing special.
If I want DXCC status for, say, WN1UHA, then I choose the "WN1UHA"
by-date selection.  I can always use an F8 search with a date range
(over the whole log) if I want to find something particular, and I
don't feel like using a group selection.

What am I missing, other than the case where I may have made QSOs as
WA1UHA in the morning, then as AD1C in the afternoon after my license
arrived in the mail?  Why do people unnecessarily want to assign group
#s to callsigns?  How would I then identify just Novice Roundup QSOs I
made as WN1UHA, because if I create a new group number for them
(that's different from the WN1UHA group #), then those QSOs will no
longer show up in my WN1UHA "group".
