[Mldxcc] Multi-Multi Question

Shirl,

Are you talking about CQP?

You can do M/M any way you like. It's ok to have separate numbering strings
for every band-mode if you want, or use the network to just have one number
string for everything.  You can even have a different number string for
every radio if you like, so long as the radios are dedicated to certain
band-modes and don't conflict with another radio's band-modes. (example: R1
is used for 80PH, 80CW, 10PH, &10CW while R2 is 40CW, 40PH, 15CW, 15PH, &
R3 is 20CW, 20PH)

It's OK to skip numbers if needed but try not to duplicate numbers for any
particular band-mode.

What really matters is that your actual sent number matches the sent number
in your log.

73, Alan  AD6E/VE3
