The Radio menu, "this is Run radio" and "this is Mult radio" entries
will tag each QSO as "A" or "B" regardless of where on the network
they are logged. So you can have more than one radio that is "A"
and, as far as the Cabrillo export is concerned, they are a single
radio and the band changes, Multi-two or Multi-single rule checking,
etc. all work as if there are only two.

I think that operationally, you can ignore the fact that WriteLog's
on-screen labeling as "Run" and "Mult" might not line up with the
terminology in a given contest rules. All those menu entries really
do is label QSOs as A/B and enable the "Window Band Change" display.
The contest module controls some of the details in that window
by counting band changes per hour, per 10 minutes, or per clock
hour or whatever it is that the rule writer's for that contest 
decided was a good way to define their contest category.
