"This prohibition does not apply to a message for any third
party who is eligible to be a control operator of the station."
This is widely interpretted across the contesting community to mean that if a
ham of any license class (by definition eligible to be A control operator of
the station) is operating at a Multi-Op where an Extra Class Control Operator
is present, then any and all contacts count and are legal.
The fact that it could be interpretted to mean that on that frequency they
couldn't be THE control op is not what it says. The government is very
particular about words like A and THE. If they wanted to use THE, they would
have said THE.
All those Multi-Op Station managers who have deleted a French, German, or
British QSO from the log because the Sunday afternoon "newbie op" was a
General...please raise you hands.
