Ok guys,

I supposed that when the rules are written in this clear way there was not
another think
to do that modifiy the program compling the rules.

But if a BJQ clear up suggestion is needed well I will ask to him.

About using separate number by band,  it's a big deal if you want monitoring
you competitors
because i really did't know how many QSO he has because he start each time
from 0000
when start a new band !! Using these way there more space to cheat off-line.

N6IG claim an old message were rules were changed betwee SSB and CW 2001
event
but these rules were different that this one (2002). So this suggestion
statment were valid for 2001.

Unfortunatly the only way that I had in my mind is to setup 3 PC one alone e
two networked
one networked for the runner, and the another two for multiplier.
When a possibile mult is found it will be checked in the network if is new
ar not and if is new
will be logged with the stand alone PC. In this way I had two separate
serial number as
rules claim.
