[UK-CONTEST] A Gentlemanly Contest ?

[Donald Field]

Only saw Bob's submission after my previous note. Cabrillo does indeed allow 
you to show which transmitter is in use (by a numerica indicator at the end 
of the QSO line).

In practie we will almost certainly move next year to separate serial 
numbers for run and mult stations. This will overcome several problems that 
currently exist. Comments would be appreciated.
