All they want is a cabrillo file which indicates which transmitter made
which qso.
As I recall, back in th early 90's I submitted two logs...one for each
transmitter where the computers were not linked.  I now submit one log since
all operating positions are networked.
We have ALWAYS used one name.
I'd suggest doing this to keep things in order for yourself as well as
others who work you.

However, IF you want to run with the computers not linked then you can use
two names and submit both logs.

If you want to verify this just drop a note to Bruce, WA7BNM.
