What is Multi Single? A bunch of hams using ONE radio and taking
turns. At least that what it is to most people. It has now devolved
into 10 guys sitting around a bunch of radios now all running stations
but only getting credit for Mults? Why can't people just follow the
rules or create new classes if this is the way the majority of people
wish to operate?
If they want to run on more than one radio then move to Multi-Two or
Multi-Multi.
To goal is to have fun while adhering to the rules.
I am still waiting for someone to explain to me how a station that is
only supposed to be working Mults is making a mistake?
The guy working the station that is breaking the rules should not get
credit for the contact. That contact is not allowed by the rules. If I
get on and sign P5 while not in P5 all of the people I work still get
credit for the contact and mult? I sure hope not.
Follow the rules and enforce the rules. Quit making up excuses for
people to bend them and break them and rewarding them.
