Maarten,

     I believe what you are proposing is disallowed by ARRL DX Contest
rule 3.1.2.2. "The same callsign may not be used by a different operator(s) 
to generate additional single band entries."  You would be better off 
using a second call sign for one of the two entries.

GL and CU in the Contest!
