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).

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.
