	No rules that I know of, Hans.

	Mutli-transmitter stations often start with different serial  
numbers. Typically the first station takes 001 to 999, and the second  
one takes 1000-1999, etc.

	With the advent of network savvy logging software this doesn't have  
to be the case any more, but then you have to have a local network  
set up between your different stations.

	It does. I've gotten some "wows" from people when I've given them  
1000 plus s/n's after a half hour into the contest.
