No problem. Enter the least restrictive category (A).
Do not change the log from Q, either for all or part of it. Do not restart
serial numbers. Keep Q in the log for everybody. Otherwise it makes log
checking very difficult. You can't work people again.
In a better world you'd be able to start over and work people with a different
call sign. Well, actually, I've been doing that for years in CW SS, by going to
somebody else's QTH. It makes SS a lot more fun when the rate goes *UP* as the
contest goes on!
The CQ Contests do not have a rule against using a transmitter or station with
a different call sign during the contest. I have also, primarily in the CQ 160
CW contest, operated Friday night with one call and Saturday with a different
one (usually W3USA).
So long as one uses multiple calls to work anybody, as opposed to just padding
the logs of friends, I think this is a great idea that is both fun and enhances
the contest for all.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Changing Category During SS?
This question should have a definitive answer, unlike many of late....
I began working SS as "Q" then realized that wasn't working due to antenna
problems... The next day I changed my category to A...
Is this permissible under the rules?
If so, do I start over with the serial numbers with the new category?
Can I work the same station using both categories? (I didn't, but could I?)
I didn't know how to send in a log for both categories.
Thanks the responses...
