I hate to say it but I agree.  The secret to doing a DXCC submission
is to run the AWARDS report multiple times: once on Mixed (i.e. don't
select any Band/Mode), then once on CW, then once on Phone, then once
on RTTY - at least 4 times!  (And then do it for each Band if you are
working towards 5B DXCC or DXCC Challenge, etc.)

The way AWARDS report is currently set up, LOGic will NOT pick up on
the fact that you might have a confirmed/unsubmitted entity on both
Phone and CW or on two different Bands, etc.  

The AWARDS report will only pick up on the first confirmed/unsubmitted
entity and ignore the rest.  So therefore you have to run the AWARDS
repot multiple times to pick up on all the permutations and then
either cross-reference them all or just sumbit the report(s).

I mean, LOGic gets the job done, it's just that you have to run and
re-run the report numerous times.  As a feature request, it would be
nice if Awards could be changed so that it picks up ALL your new
Band/Mode confirmations in one shot.
