I agree. Sending the membership # will just confuse things. If somebody
is interested in what my member number is they can look it up on the web.
But I do suggest sending something to signify that you are a member. THEN
we can have the mults be the number of members worked overall, NOT per
band. We don't need to have people making 100 Q's and 1,000,000 pts. Also
that would encourage the under 30 crowd to become members, so they can be
a mult!! So count mults once but allow people to be worked again on
different bands and  modes.

Yes CW, SSB and mixed must be different categories.
