Re: [CQ-Contest] Single band rule WPX RTTY

[Randy Thompson <k5zd@outlook.com>]

This  is covered in the CQ WW rules FAQ.

https://www.cqww.com/rules_faq.htm

Q: For a single-band entry, is it allowed to be looking for multipliers on 
other bands to request a QSY, sked or even just asking if a multiplier is 
operating that band?

No, it is not. The rules state: "All entrants must operate within the limits of 
their chosen category when performing any activity that could affect their 
submitted score." Entering single band means that all activity to improve your 
score must be only on that band. You are permitted to work stations on other 
bands, but you are not allowed to ask them to QSY or make schedules.

Same in the CQ WPX rules FAQ.  The RTTY contests don't have an FAQ, but I think 
you can assume it would be similar.

You are certainly welcome to make QSOs on other bands while entering single 
band.  You just shouldn't ask for people to move to your band.  The guiding 
rule is this:

X. GENERAL RULES FOR ALL ENTRANTS:
A. Entrants must operate within the limits of their chosen category when 
performing any activity that could affect their submitted score.

GM All

         It has been a few years since I last read the rules so I decided to 
look them over.

         Actually I read them a few times.  My memory is not what it once was 
so maybe

         I remember wrong.  I could find no rule in regards to a Single Band 
operator

         who is competing on say 40 meters yet goes to 20 meters and ask if an 
operator

         there could QSY to 40.  I thought some years back that was against the 
rules.

         Remember I am talking about Single Band operation, not all band 
operations.

         Are we allowed to ask a 20 meter guy to QSY to 40 meters?  Yes I know 
it takes

         time and how often would you want to do it but that is not my question.
