Sean,
could you please try to improve the rules, to have them in one file per
contest. we will appreciate it very much.
If something is common to many contest, today just with "cut" and "paste" is
very quickly to write the same paragraphs in many files.
So if we want to read the ARRL DX rules, we just go to read the ARRL DX
rules!... And this for each contest...
This will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jorge

Asunto: Re: [CQ-Contest] ARRL DX Question
Gentlemen-
>From the General Rules for All ARRL Contests Below 30 MHz
(http://www.arrl.org/general-rules-for-arrl-contests-below-30-mhz):
2.3.Multioperator: More than one person performs transmitting, receiving
and logging functions, etc. Multioperator stations are divided into
subcategories:
2.3.1.Multioperator, Single Transmitter: Stations are allowed only
one transmitted signal at any given time.
2.3.1.1.In those contests that do not have Single Operator
Assisted class, this category includes those single operators that use any
form of spotting assistance such as from nets or packet.
2.3.1.2.Includes those that receive assistance with logging or
relief operators, etc.
2.3.1.3.Limited to 6 band changes (maximum) in any clock hour.
2.3.1.3.1.The clock hour is from zero through 59 minutes.
2.3.1.3.2.Band changes are defined so that, for example, a
change from 20 meters to 40 meters and then back to 20 meters constitutes
two band changes.
2.3.1.4.Violation of the 6-band change rule or improper
logging will result in an entry reclassification to the Multi-operator
Multitransmitter class.
2.3.2.Multioperator, Two Transmitter:
2.3.2.1.A maximum of two transmitted signals at any given time,
on different bands.
2.3.2.2.Each transmitter is limited to 6 band changes (maximum)
in any clock hour. Unused band changes from radio one may not be transferred
to radio two.
2.3.2.2.1.The clock hour is from zero through 59 minutes.
2.3.2.2.2.Band changes are defined so that, for example, a
change from 20 meters to 40 meters and then back to 20 meters constitutes
two band changes.
2.3.2.2.3.Violation of the 6-band change rule or improper
logging will result in an entry reclassification to the Multioperator
Multitransmitter class.
2.3.2.3.Both transmitters may work any and all stations; the
second transmitter is not limited to working new multipliers only. However,
a station may only be worked once per band regardless of which transmitter
is used.
2.3.2.4.Each of the two transmitters must keep a separate,
chronological log for the entire contest period.
2.3.2.5.The Cabrillo log must indicate which transmitter made
each QSO in this category.
2.3.3.Multioperator Multi-transmitter:
2.3.3.1.A maximum of one transmitted signal per band at any
given time.
2.3.3.2.Multioperator Multi-transmitter stations must keep a
separate, chronological log for each band for the entire contest period.
