For example, their software may not be capable of a single serial number string (often called a serial number server), or not all stations are networked so they can't do a single serial number string.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>As such, the generally accepted practice for all contest sponsors is to accept separate serial numbers for each band, or transmitter. The most important thing is what was sent is logged (you don't want to give out serial number 59 and the software logs 58 for some reason - it can happen with buggy software). So do what's best for you.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>If you go with separate logs and you are not networked, you will need to merge the logs after the contest. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Most major contesting software will handle M/M. NA, N1MM, WriteLog, WinTest, TR, etc, though not everyone will support the MiQP. For example WinTest only supports a single QSO party, and it's not the MiQP (darn). The key is having software that will support the MiQP. I know NA and N1MM support MiQP and do M/M. I don't have experience in other software to know if they do. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Kenny K2KW<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 4:15 PM, Wolters, John (JC) <<a href="mailto:JCWolters@dow.com">JCWolters@dow.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I have what I believe is a simple question.</span> <o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We are talking about setting up a multi - multi station for the Michigan QSO party but need to understand how we do the logging.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Since we will have multiple transmitters under one call does each one have its own log with the sequence number starting from 001?</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Is there a separate log for CW and phone each with a sequence # starting at 001?
