So, I gather when the rules are against National Regulations or Laws, we
encourage folks to break the law or use secondary level stations rather
than changing the rules?
Is NOT a rule which says "one multiplier per IARU affiliated National
Organization"sufficient? Why can the rules NOT be changed to
accommodate several (multiple, for tha matter) calls each, like IO4HQ
and IO1HQ both on 160 SSB, for example but stating 599 ARI as the
exchange? Dothe organizers believe that this would confuse the
participants? Why? The rules specifically state that there is only one
multiplier per band from each IARU Affilate in a country?
Methinks the rules committee, were not thinking internationally
aboutrules in othercountries which are different from FCC rules.
As for disqualifying, mentioned in another message, IF some "high and
mighty" person or group were to actually do this, they'd need to sift
through past years' entries and disqualify the national socieities who
followed their nations' laws but violated the ill-conceived rules of
this contest.
Let a sleeping dawg lie. This has apparently been happening for several
years, so overlook it one more year. Change the rules next year, and
stop arguing about how many pins may dance on the head of an angel.

Hi Tree and all,
since dear friend Jesus has difficult to type the? name of Italy and ARI, I do
for him.
ARI like our Japanese friends of JARL is "violating" the 4.3.3. rule since many
years and we also have never been notified. In Italy we have restrictions in callsign
assignement and we have to strictly be compliant with Call Areas. This is the list of the
Station Callsign we will use in the next IARU HF Championship
160 CW IO4HQ
160SSB IO4HQ
80 CW IO1HQ
80SSB IO4HQ
40 CW IO1HQ
40SSB IO4HQ
20 CW IO5HQ
20SSB IO1HQ
15 CW IO9HQ
15SSB IO8HQ
10 CW IO9HQ
10SSB IO9HQ
Maybe it is time to rethink that rule which intent has nothing to do with the
multiplier count.
I wish a very good contest to all and have fun!

you are right dear Tree. Is being breached a basic rule of the contest, other
HQs in EU are failing this rule. You must use the same call in a band and TWO
MODES (SSB/CW). Greetings. 73 de Jesus EC1KR

Asunto: [CQ-Contest] IARU HQ Callsigns Saw this recently posted:
The Radio Club Argentino LU4AA and the LUCG (LU Contest Group) put together
a team for the upcoming IARU HF Championship next weekend and several >stations will be giving out the RCA multiplier. >
>Stations as follows - hosts in parenthesis - : > >10 SSB: LR1D >10 CW LR2H >15 SSB LR0H >15 CW LR0F ... This
appears to conflict with the following rule for the IARU contest: "4.3.3. Only one HQ station callsign per member society
per frequency band is permitted." The rules can be found here: http://www.arrl.org/iaru-hf-championship I would interpret a
"frequency band" as being all of 10 meters for example. This is likely the case because of the way the multiplier rule
is worded: "Multipliers: The total number of ITU zones plus IARU member society HQ
stations worked on each band (not mode)." In the case above - I am sure the
intent of the rules would not have been
to count LR1D and LR2H as two multpliers in the contest. Tree N6TR
