[SECC] TS (TB-WIRES) or not?

There-in lies my problem.  I,  W4NTI,  am a Literal sort of guy (Note...I 
didn't say Liberal).  It said TB (as in Tri Band(er))-Wires.  Tri Band as in 
three band.  So I assumed, in my demented mind, that I need a wire with 
three bands and some more wires for the other bands...right?  Actually I 
just assumed it meant Tri-Band Yagi or something....But John and all you 
other serious contest types set me straight.

Does this mean if I use my Tri Bander on only 15 meters, and other antenna's 
for other bands I'm in a new category?  Oh never mind...I'm just being 
silly.
