Three "stations" all on the same band?  I hope everyone is taking care to
keep one and only one transmitted signal per band, as required by the rules.

I still don't understand why it is so important to "hide" the so-called
"MULT" PCs from the Status window.   Is it because stations are being passed
to the wrong frequency?

You can add additional visual clues to the Status window to indicate which
station is which.  For example, you could use station names such as:

40MAIN  (Enter RUN and NOSUPPORT)
40SUPP (Enter RUN SUPPORT)
40MULT (Enter MULT and NOSUPPORT)

(Provided these don't change during the contest).

You could also use a dummy PASSFREQ on the "MULT" station like 7111, 14111,
21111, etc., then select Display Options | QSY Freq to train your operators
to know which station is NOT the one accepting passes.

To summarize you'll now have three visual clues:  the station name (40MULT) the
"TYPE" column (M) and the QSY Freq column (21111).
