Thanks for the clarification, Randy,
As far as I understand the 10-15-20 quad antenna should
comply with the rules if only one feedline is used from the station
to the antenna (to the switching box). With such setup there
will be no benefits from the quads compared to more traditional
tribanders.
If more then one feedline is used between the station and the antenna
(or switching box) I can use qauds on the two bands simultaneously
operating SO2R, so this will not be within the limits of the TB-wires
category anymore.
Is my interpretation correct?
Regards,
Oleg

Hello Randy,
What is the rationale or thought behind the "one feedline" from a tribander
(or quad) rule opposed to separate feedlines? I believe some manufacturers
offer these choices as an option (Force12).
The question about using a remote antenna switch at the top of a tower "got
me thinking" about this.

Based on the discussion I may need to add some more text to this
explanation. For example, we have allowed receiving antennas in the past,
but it does seem like a gray area that should be clarified for next year.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for how the rules can be made
more clear or more interesting to competitors.
