Dear Bob.
As Manager of the ARI you should know well the rules of international
Contests, but as we can see you not know.
In Italy, Japan, Argentina, Spain, etc... all have restrictions to use the
same QRZ from all districts, we have no luck with other countries, but this
is not the reason for not enforcing the rules, and you have 1 year to found
good locations in same districts.
The rule is very simple, the same QRZ in a band and modes (SSB/CW), because
if you do not use the same indicative in a band you can confuse at
participants working several times a multiplier.
The competition organizers (ARRL) should act and clearly define what the
rule is correct, because for some countries the rules are in a manner and to
other countries are of another. Please, rules the same for everyone.
Regards and good contest.

Hi Tree and all,
since dear friend Jesus has difficult to type the
name of Italy and ARI, I do for him.
ARI like our Japanese friends of JARL
is "violating" the 4.3.3. rule since many years
and we also have never been notified.
In Italy we have restrictions in callsign assignement
and we have to strictly be compliant with Call Areas.
This is the list of the Station Callsign
we will use in the next IARU HF Championship
160 CW IO4HQ
160SSB IO4HQ
80 CW IO1HQ
80SSB IO4HQ
40 CW IO1HQ
40SSB IO4HQ
20 CW IO5HQ
20SSB IO1HQ
15 CW IO9HQ
15SSB IO8HQ
10 CW IO9HQ
10SSB IO9HQ
Maybe it is time to rethink that rule which intent
has nothing to do with the multiplier count.
I wish a very good contest to all and have fun!

>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).

Asunto: [CQ-Contest] IARU HQ Callsigns Saw this recently posted: >The Radio
Club Argentino LU4AA and the LUCG (LU Contest Group) put together
>a team for the upcoming IARU HF Championship next weekend and several
>stations will be giving out the RCA multiplier. > >Stations as follows -
hosts in parenthesis - : > >10 SSB: LR1D >10 CW LR2H >15 SSB LR0H >15 CW
LR0F ... 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. Tree N6TR
