Hi,

it depends on the fact if you want to take part in the contest seriously
(with tracking of
QSOs/Multis/Score). At VK9DNX we had the same situation. We also took part
in the ARRL CW (and also
in the CQ 160 SSB with 12 QSOs). We didn't change anything in the network.
We logged all contest
QSOs in DXpedition mode. For sending the rst you can modify the F2 memory.
For receiving you can
enter the state in the comment field behind the RST. So we had no idea how
many QSOs/Multis/Points
we had. We extracted the QSOs with NA out of the DXpedition log and sent it
in. We one the Oceania
M/M category...

Don't mix two different "contests" in Win-Test after the ARRL. Either you
log ALL QSOs in one file
or use two different and keep them separate until you are at home.

... fine - thanks for the suggestions so far ... Your idea 

Maybe I was not 100% clear ... We sure will not mix the logs, I wonder if it
is possible to have 'two different logs' 'running in the network' at the
same time (I guess this is possible but what would be the easiest way to do
this?)
