Sorry Scott– My bad…..was typing from memory (wasn’t in the shack)
It’s ALT+F- then 2 (two key strokes—not a combo thereof)
What you are doing is going into your recent files (contests) and
picking off the 2^nd contest you have open.
When you wanna go back, do it again.
You can do it all by mouse, too, if you’re a mouse kinda guy.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the suggestion, but alt-2 doesn't seem to work. Did you
have to write a macro for that?
It's probably too slow, anyway. I think I'll just use paper and pencil
for any RAC folks who call in. All I have to write down is time, call,
and maybe S/N.
73,

Hey Scott
Personally, I am gg to try and avoid making "overlapping" contacts in both
contests, however should you find yourself in that position, here's what I
do on casual weekends where there might be 2 contests I *DO* wish to play
in.
I only know N1MM+ logger, so here's what I would do.
Set up for the RAC test.
Start another log for the SPTDC test.
Enter whichever contest I am actually playing in. Run.
When confronted with a S&P-er giving me 2 reports like could happen this
weekend, I give them the main report
and hit a very quick ALT-2 to jump the logger over to the 'other' contest
and then give them a report in the 2nd contest.
Depending on whether you're connected to a cluster (most won't be in the
SPTDC) and whether you're using a call history and the # of Q's in your
database, the switchover can be as much as 1-2 seconds, so it's certainly
not quick. At least on my 10 year old laptop it's not quick.
It's much easier to do this manoeuver as a S&P-er and it's vy time consuming
as a runner to have to deal with , but it is doable if you are so inclined.
Like I said..I am going to avoid it at all costs, hi !
CU in one *OR* the other this weekend. I'm only dabbling in both.
