Well,

We don´t have so many radios...Only 3 radios...2 RUN and 1 MULT.

I think the MULT station can MOVE FREELY from band to band without any 10minutes limit..It that OK?...Maybe I am wrong. If so, please, let me know.

I am building a hardware with some relays to avoid 2 TX signals in the same band in the case the MULT try work some mults in the same band one of the RUN stations are working.

I hope N1MM or Wintest identify this very clear in the log.

Thanks for your help.

Doug, CO8DM

I did an M2 at NQ4I a couple of years ago.  We had two radios per band, and
a total of six radios.  Two radios per band interlocked - only one could
transmit at a time (hardware interlock).  One run radio, one mult radio.

When we did a band change - say "radio 1" was going from 10 to 20 meters.
We would stop TX on 10 meters, designate 20 meters as "radio 1", and away
we went with a different pair of radios.  That was one band change.

With M2, you are assisted - allowed to look at the cluster.  We could line
up 20 meter mults, ready to go when TX moved to 20. Once we worked a bunch of mults of 20, we could then move back to 10 meters (ie radio 1), and this
counted as band change # 2 for radio 1.

This activity was independent of what "radio 2" was doing.

The TX must be identified in the Cabrillo log file - radio 1 or radio 2.
Logging software takes care of this.

Does this help?

I would like some clarification on the Multi 2 transmitter rule.

From the CQ WW Rules Website:

*2. Two Transmitters (MULTI-TWO):* A maximum of two transmitted signals on
two different bands may be used at any time.

The log must indicate which transmitter made each QSO.

Each transmitter may make a maximum of 8 band changes in any clock hour
(00 through 59 minutes).

Total output power must not exceed *1500 watts* on any band at any time.


Line one says Two transmitters.  Does this really mean just two
transmitters per the contest period?  Rig 1 and Rig 2 and you can have as
many receivers as you want and operators but all contacts need to be made
using rig 1 and rig 2?
