I guess I just sent this to Eric just after he sent his email to the list.
Here it is for everyone:
That is how I read the rules at http://www.cqwpx.com/rules.htm where it
states Multi-operator entrants must start with serial number 001 on each
band and a multi-one is a multi-operator entrant.
But if you look in the FAQs listed at http://www.cqwpx.com/rules_faq.htm it
states (last sentence the key):
Can I use different serial numbers on each band?
Single operators must begin with serial number 001 and continue in sequence
for all QSOs regardless of band.
Multi-op stations must begin with serial number 001 on each band.
The rules printed in the magazine are not clear about multi-single. For
2009, multi-single stations may use serial numbers per band or across all
bands. The Cabrillo log file MUST show the actual serial number sent to the
other station.
So it looks like you can choose either option for a multi-single, at least
for 2009.
