I.m.h.o. QSYing to another band and calling CQ but not actually making a
QSO on that band, doesn't count as a band change. Only if you actually make
a QSO on that band, the logcheckers can see that you made a band change.
Furthermore, what is the benefit for you when you call CQ on a band and not
making any QSO's? It only makes your QSO rate go down and thus hampers your
score. So why "penalize" it by letting it count as a band change?
