Stupid. So very, very stupid. The maximum achievable score of a multi-single
entry is lower than that of a single-op entry because of this ridiculous
handicap.
NCCC uses a better technique to avoid the dreaded "octopus." In the
California QSO Party, M/S stations must observe a "ten-minutes in the seat"
rule: Once an operator makes a contact, no other operator can make a contact
for 10 minutes. Better. Much, much better. It does assume honesty, though.
Anybody got any honesty?
