I think that the strong opinions and emotion should be directed to getting
the rules changed, or not, by the contest sponsors. Not going after people
recognizing the rules and using them to their advantage. After all, the
very popular Multi-Single Category and the multi operators on the same band
in Multi-2 and Multi-Multi all started this same way. So did SO2R. All
very strict interpretations of the rules. Single transmitted signal on a
band at any one time.
The "transmitter" and "adjusting equipment and antennas" clauses in ARRL HF
contests can be equally reviewed. But until they are changed, they are the
rules.
If the particular sponsor (in this case the ARRL) considers the contest
rules important, they should have no problem considering this case.
