How about submitting your RAC log to 9A as a Checklog. I think that's what I'll
do.

A lot of the European and especially eastern European contests give
credit for QSOs only if both stations send in a log. I was concerned
that I may have wrongly decided which contest one or two stations were
in this weekend and may have cost them a lost QSO or penalty. I kept
two separate logs, but it wasn't easy if a station called me after I
sent CQ RAC or if I called a TEST station who didn't say which contest
he was in. Generally, on Saturday when the contests overlapped, I had
to assume that an European and particularly an eastern European station
was in the 9A contest if I was calling him. If he called me after I
called CQ RAC and he was really in the 9A contest, I guess he assumed to
risk. 73, John, K4BAI.
