Hi Kenny,
I remember well that the rules were adapted to use M/M configurations in =
the Contest Programs,but the way that=20
you suggest ( using M/M setup and respecting the M/S 10min rules ) is =
not compliant to the rules that follows :
WPX 2002 Rules
2. Multi-Operator (All band operation only)
(a) Single-Transmitter: Only one transmitter and one band permitted =
during the same time period (defined as 10
minutes). Exception: One-and only one-other band may be used during any =
10-minute period if-and only if-the
station worked is a new multiplier. Use a separate serial numbers for =
the multiplier station. Logs found in violation
of the 10-minute rule will be automatically reclassified as multi-multi. =
Maximum power allowed is 1500 watts total
output power. Your log MUST show the correct serial number sent for each =
contact. (MULTI-ONE)
I understand, but I can be wrong, that the multiplier station MUST use a =
separate serial numbers, completly separate
from running serial numbers. Each group of serial numbers are not =
separate by band, Runner Numbers start from 0000
on Running band AND on the same 10 min period a Mult station can work =
needed mult's on another band starting again
from 0000.
Some Example of what I had understood :
Time RunnerBand RunnerSerial MultBand MultSerial
0000 20 0001 40 0001 =
New Mult
0001 20 0002 40 0002 =
" =20
0002 20 0003 40 0003 =
"
0003 20 0004 40 0004 =
"
0004 20 0005 40 0005 =
"
0005 20 0006 40 0006 =
" =20
0006 20 0007 40 0007 =
"
0007 20 0008 40 0008 =
"
0008 20 0009 40 0009 =
"
0009 20 0010 40 0010 =
"
0010 20 0011 40 0011 =
"
0011 20 0012 15 0012 =
"
0012 40 0013 15 0013 =
"
0013 40 0014 15 0014 =
"
0014 40 0015 15 0015 =
"
The M/M configuration in CT don't solve the problem, because in this way =
you have 6 different Serial Numbers sequence by band, but is not what =
the rules claims. The big difference is that CT count the QSO by band, =
the rules need to count the QSO by Computer were QSO is logged. Writelog =
has similar kind of Serial manging, but has another bad features, has =
slow Master.DTA search, mouse dipendent menu and so on that we don't =
agree.
I cannot see another view to read the rules, but probable on the mind of =
the writer there was a good idea, but on the paper it's dont seem the =
same that thinked .... or am I in wrong ?? Light me !!
