I assume by the (almost) total lack of response that nobody else who uses 
WriteLog has operated multi-two, so I guess pretty much I'm on my own for 
this one. I am certain that the Cabrillo file created by WriteLog does not 
care and does not distinguish between radios, so this is a bit of an uphill 
battle.

Wayne K7WM did suggest using the File | Export | ASCII with no formatting, 
by Radio - which will produce a separate log for each radio, but doesn't do 
much to get it into Cabrillo format. The suggestion was to then use WT4I's 
Cabrillo tools (www.CabrilloTools.com)to convert the file to Cabrillo 
format, which I guess is what I'll have to do before we can submit our log.

While WriteLog has great support for multiple stations (whether operating 
multi/multi, multi/two or multi/single), it seems there is a lack of 
support in the area of log preparation for multi-radio entries. I for one 
would certainly like to see that addressed in a future release!
