Has this made it into the posted rules? I don't see this in the General Rules,
but the old rule 3.5 is still there.

Jim,
What you're describing as a "waiting trap" is no longer true. That issue was
resolved by ARRL this past summer.
Station and Equipment Restrictions
STTN.1. A transmitter used to contact one or more stations may not be
subsequently used under any other call sign during the contest period, except
a) for family stations where more than one call has been issued, and then
only if the second call sign is used by a different operator.
< as it always was
b) for remote stations used by individual amateurs that have limited or no
access to their own stations. < New this year
This rule does not permit any operator to use multiple calls at the same
station to manufacture contacts to another
station in the contest.

Bob

So we won't need to listen to all those California clubs complaining about DX
contests. They just need to suck up every east coast remote station! :-)
Though the ARRL rules still have a waiting trap for people using remote
stations: under their rules if more than one person uses a remote station (as a
single op) during a contest, their entries are disqualified by the one
transmitter/one callsign rule.
