This sort of Internet octopus would be pretty unwieldy, given the current 
state of the network -- just too much latency.  At NU1AW/4, I think that 
having one station handle all the CW and another all the SSB was a pretty 
good way to do things.  With multipliers only counting once per band 
there's little incentive to pass mults between modes.
