Yes, I have to agree. The problem is that a bunch of guys could run a
multi TX station as a bunch of separate single-band entries and pass all
the mults around. That would hardly be fair competition for the true
single-op single-band guy.
However, I dont really see anything wrong if the same single-op wants to
try to move guys from another band to his band. He just should not receive
any help from anyone else. Things would have to be pretty slow for that to
be effective anyway...

Hi Group,
I'll try to be brief:
I tip my hat to those who can influence a multiplier to move to another
band but I think it should be limited to "multi-operator" stations and
"all-banders". I feel it violates the spirit of the contest for
"single-banders" such as myself. Granted, check log contacts are great
and can help stations which are competeing in other catagories but single
band should be just that - "Single-Band". All reception and transmission
must be on a single band.
As far as calling QRO and dropping to 150 or 5 watts, this is just as
bad as the DX-NETS where the "list-taker" is the only one with a good
station and/or the skills to really work DX. [I know it's another
discussion on another reflector - :) ]
During Dayton I was chatting with some of our brethern about the
compliment my signal got from a certain ZL and how it sounded louder than
most low-power stations, I said I should have kicked in the AMP just so
he could hear what my QRO signal would be like...I was chastised... and I
wanted to do it just as a brief QSO during the contest period...the
contact and exchange was already completed....Oh Well! ;}
I do pray that someday I'll get spotted in a EU packet cluster and get a
lot of calls.
