In the NAQP last night, I had quite a few requests to QSY to 160. I did and
worked all the stations that asked me to go there.
Question is, when I go to 160 to work CA, that is not a new mult for me, even
though I am a mult for the other station. After I get there, I guess I have to
take a 10 minute break or tune around and see if there are any other stations.
Most of the time I just went back to 80.
If I don't stay for 10 minutes, then I guess I will be reclassified as a M/M.
How can that be if I am the only guy here? Another option is to take any Q's
that I made after I got back to 80 out of my log that were made in that 10
minute period. I think the 10 minute rule is a stupid rule.
Or I guess I could just tell the station on the other end that I don't want to
go to 160, even if I am a mult for the guy. I worked 1 station on 40 and me
moved me to 80 and 160. It was 3 mults for him, but no mults for me. But I
did it anyway cause I'm a good guy :-). But if I went to 80, worked him as not
a new one for me, then went to 160, also not a new mult for me, I just messes
up my log as to what class I am in. So I see there are 2 options--don't QSY
for someone, or just do it and then take a break or something.
It is not like I made a big score or anything, or this is going to take me out
of the top 10, but it does seem to be a problem. 73 and thanks for the Q's
last nigh
