Here we go.
A. Single Operator: Single band or all band; those stations at which
one person performs all of the operating, logging, and spotting
functions.
A-1. Single Operator High: only one transmitter and one band permitted
during any 10-minute period, defined as starting with the first logged
QSO on a band. The use of DX alerting assistance of any kind including
any tool that provides other station's details (callsign, frequency,
exchange) outside the operator's own running (CQing) frequency places
the station in the Single Operator Assisted category. Logs found in
violation of the 10-minute rule will automatically be reclassified as
A-4.
A-2. Single Operator Low: Same as A-1 except that the output power
must not exceed 100 watts. Logs found in violation of the 10-minute
rule will automatically be reclassified as A-5.
A-3. QRP: Same as A-1, except that the power output must not exceed 5
watts. Logs found in violation of the 10-minute rule will
automatically be reclassified as A-6.
A-4. Single Operator Multiple Radios High: only one signal allowed at
any one time; the operator may change bands at any time. The use of DX
alerting assistance of any kind including any tool that provides other
station's details (callsign, frequency, exchange) outside the
operator's own running (CQing) frequency places the station in the
Single Operator Assisted category..
A-5. Single Operator Multiple Radios Low: Same as A-4 except that the
output power must not exceed 100 watts.
A-6. Single Operator Multiple Radios QRP: Same as A-4, except that the
power output must not exceed 5 watts.
B. Single Operator Assisted: Same as A-4 except the passive
(self-spotting not allowed) use of DX spotting nets and any tool that
provides other station's details (callsign, frequency, exchange)
outside the operator's own running (CQing) frequency is allowed.
