I guess it would depend on whether their log checking software can count
the contacts in the RAC log.
Perhaps the easiest thing would be for the sponsors of both contests to
simply ignore NIL's during the overlap period. There probably wouldn't
be all that many of them, anyway.
For me, as I expect for most of us, it's really academic, as we're
really not in contention for anything.

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.

I suspect if you do not turn in an RAC log they will be uniques at worst. You being
in more than one log submitted they won't even be that. They will be counted as
good QSOs (which they actually were).

Scott,
I was in the 9A contest on/off today. I specifically set my CQ message to '9A test
NR4M NR4M' to dissuade people in the RAC from calling me. After the 3rd VE, I just
entered '001' instead of 'ON', 'SK' or whatever. N1MM didn't like what they sent
and I didn't feel like arguing with them.
Then, I changed my 'TU' message to 'TU NR4M 9A TEST', and still got RAC
contestants. There were also US stations sending me serial numbers of
300 plus. Find that hard to believe that were in the 9A contest. I'm quite
sure these were people just clicking on spots and didn't have the ability to actually
copy what I was sending.
There surely will be a bunch of NIL's.
73 de Steve, NR4M

It's too bad these contests overlap, and that the exchanges are so
similar. Not all those calling CQ specify which one they are in. There
surely will be a lot of NIL penalties.
