Exactly...but here's the problem with the category: It's basic premise is that
it is MULTI-OPERATOR.  If you limit anything, it should be the number of
operators, not the number of bands.

Limited Multi-Op should simply be 2 or 3 operators, max.  Not 4-bands max.

Again... use them or lose them (bands, I mean).  For the life of me, I don't
understand the logic of actually encouraging anyone to use fewer bands in order
to stay competitive.  On one hand, the ARRL spends "stupid money" (I'm taking
poetic license with the phrase) trying to protect our frequencies, while
encouraging us to not use them.  Go figure.

Am I the only person to see this contradiction?  Maybe so.
