Bruce,

 

One other point, please be advised that paper logs are no longer accepted.  If you log on paper, you can later enter the QSOs into an online tools which will produce a Cabrillo file for submission and scoring. The online tool is available at: http://www.b4h.net/cabforms/paqp_cab3.php/

Bruce,

 

I’ve heard back from the log checking software designer.  It is ok to start at 500.  It is also for both stations to start at 1, which I think is a better strategy, but this is your call.

As we will be in separate buildings several hundred feet apart and using paper logs I can't see any way to coordinate our serial numbers. I hope this is okay.

Bruce,

The rules were changed in 2018 to combine Multi-Multi and Multi-Single into a new category called Multi-op.  Your plan to have 2 stations going at once is fine so no worries.

We will be using new log checking software this year.  I have a question into the software designer regarding your plans to start at 500.  I will let you know if this is an issue.

Question, I do not see a multi-multi listed in the rules for a category,
our club W3VV McKean County, will be operation a CW and a phone station.
from  the same location. We are planning on starting the S/N at 500 for the
phone station and 001 for the CW station. We have done this in the past.
Any suggestions on the multi-multi category?
