I guess you are correct--if you translate checking "40" and "phone" to be "40 OR phone". My interpretation is "40 AND phone". I guess it depends on whether you see the Wizard selection as an OR or an AND.

Because the five phone contacts add to his "Phone" award, regardless of band and the five phone + the five CW add to his 40 meter total. The band awards *ARE NOT* mode specific. When you select 40 meters, you should get *every* new one for 40 meters. >There's no trumping going on. There is indeed.
