Dana:  I think the multi-single rule is essentially the same in CQ WPX 
as is the rule for CQ WW.  You can have another transmitter which can 
work only multipliers on another band from the "run" station.  Each 
station is limited as to band changes per hour.  The software keeps up 
with which QSO is made by which station, after you designate one as the 
"run" station and one as the "mult" station.  This is usually done by a 
separate field at the extreme right of the Cabrillo file that contains 
for each QSO either a "1" or a "2" or maybe it is either a "1" or a "0." 
  You can change which station is the run and which is the mult station 
during the contest.  This is usually done by typing in "Run" or "Mult" 
in the callsign field of the logging program.  Someone who uses your 
same logging program M/S may be able to be more specific as to your 
particular program.    73, John, K4BAI.
