I guess it depends on what you want to do.
If you are logging multiple modes on the same band using the same log
file, you *want* DXpedition mode, not DXCC mode. The reason being
that DXCC mode dupes the stations once per band, whereas DXpedition
mode dupes the stations once per band+mode. What happened to me this
morning is that all the guys who previously worked me on 30 RTTY were
showing up as dupes on 30 CW. The other way around is worse, because
you can't use the INSERT key in RTTY on a "duplicate" call to capture
it into the QSO window.
You can still add the STATE field to the DXpedition module if you are
inclined to logging the information that is sent to you.
DXCC mode gives you multiplier stats for each band, regardless of
mode. DXpedition mode gives you multiplier stats regardless of band
or mode, i.e. the first VK you work on any band counts as a multiplier
for THAT band. Since this isn't a contest, the reporting of
multipliers is far less important than having dupes identified
correctly.
