I have run into this numerous times. I see no problem with logging both
qso's since contact was made with both stations. The problem arises when a
serial number is part of the exchange (which it is not in the 10m test). In
that case I will give the callsign of each station and their serial
numbers. I love making more than one qso at a time!

I believe that family members using the same station are exempt from this
rule.
