I guess people are not reading the general rules too carefully
Rule #1
1.1.Rules for individual contests or events, including Field Day, take
precedence over all General Rules.
Rule #2
Re-read rule #1
Rule #3
Read the single operator assisted rule within the EME rules which takes
precedence over Rule #3 in the general rules
3.2. Single Operator Assisted. One person performs all operating and
logging functions, equipment adjustments, antenna alignment. The use of
spotting assistance or nets (operating arrangements involving other
individuals, DX-alerting nets, packet, etc.) is permitted.
