Igor,
Thanks for the excellent question - good one!
Clarification - multi-band antennas with individual feed per band are
allowed, but are considered a single antenna and may not be shared by the
two stations. If you have a multi-element quad, a C31-XR, or something
similar with all of the bands fed with a separate feedline, only one of the
stations may use it at a time. It's OK to switch it back and forth between
stations, but the other station must use the wire.
I'll send that to W2DZO right away.
