Exactly Doug,
Where has everyone been? Many M/S operations have operated with multiple
stations. While the multiplier station was working mults the other
multiplier station was making a list of stations to work when it was their
10 minute turn. I have not seen a M/S using 5 stations but it is certainly
within the rules. This has been commonplace for many years. The M/S category
is the most fun category in the CQWW and I would certainly hate to see it
changed. It really requires two or three stations, two or three antennas
and 4 - 5 guys. The strategy is fun. What is all this outrage?

i.e if you had 5 stations in the shack one on each band what's to stop you
having an op on
every band looking for mults and then deciding which op is going to get the

to work the mults he's found.

Right! This is almost word for word what my article in CQ Magazine (early
1980's) advised
to do! The title was something like: "How To Operate an Efficient M/S."
That's about 30
years ago now. Maybe someone here can find the exact title and publication
date.
This is not new to the rules, but clearly new to some. That's OK....live
and learn.
