[CQ-Contest] Using N1MM to operate 2 contests...

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I got the impression he wants to work the multiple contests with one 
version running.  Ie just work guys and have N1MM figure it out?

If the reports are the same you could log everything in one log and then 
export two different cabrillo files and let the robots figure out your 
score.
