Tom, Alex, Timothy, Ryan, gentlemen,
thank you for the discussion...
It looks like there are different interpretations of the rule.
I am not going to entry in this class (in spite of my station
may comply with the limitations for TB-wires category)
- the question arose during the discussion of the last WPX
CW contest in the russian QRZ.RU forum. It appeared
there were different interpretations of the rule, so I decided
to ask here.
I agree with the Tom (in my interpretation of this rule), but
I think the rule should be more formal - it is still unclear
what can be used and what is beyond the limits for this
category.
Regards,
Oleg

If I may add a side note here (my own take on things, and is my
opinion only). Folks on city lots will typically have one tower with
a tribander on top, and either a single, wire antennas for 40/80 and
possibly 160 or a vertical. This way, folks of similar capabilities
can see how their station performs against similar stations. Clearly,
folks with multiple monobanders, and multi-element low band antennas
are excluded from this class. My take would also be that using
separate receiving antennas (ie beverages) would exclude you from this
call, as you would now have more than a single element for 40/80/160
(one to transmit with, and a second for receiving).
