Hi Jim,
I was confused by this also when the "General Rules" were first
published.
I contacted Billy Lunt at the ARRL and discussed the situation (at least
in
reference to multi-ops). Billy assused me that there was no intention
of
changing the SS multi-op rules with the addition of a "six band change
per hour"
rule. He indicated the official SS rules would over-ride the "General
Rules"
and allow unlimited band changes.
I'm concerned that this issue will not be clarified in the SS Rules.
This could
lead to some participates following the "written" rule and others
following
the "intended" rule.
I guess a clarification is in order!
