Frank,
Multiplier passing, in every category of entry is a technique employed
by every winner. Every successful entry will ask a station to QSY to
another band when it is likely they will not work that country on
another band otherwise. Workin a new multiplier on one band and then
working the same guy in the next few minutes on three additional bands
is sometimes the memorable moment long after the contest is over.
