What we are seeing here in M/2 with Wintest is at the start of the test say
Run 1 is on 80m with serial 1,2,3,4,5 and Run 2 is on 40 with serial 1,2,3,4
etc. Now later in the test Run 2 station operates 80 and his serial numbers
start up where the Run 1 stn left off. This would appear to not follow the
rule.
BUT - as you said, I'm sure the rules will be clarified and in a single
document before the CW test. I'm sure glad I will not be processing the
logs for this test :)
