Years ago there were rules about only allowing one call to be used by a
station.  There were also rules about operators of a station not being
allowed to work the station.

The first rule means that in a multi op station the operators are not
allowed to use their call.  I remember the OK3 station that worked VP2MDX
on 80 in the early 1970's.  Two single op OK3's followed the QSO.  They were
listed as ops at the OK3.  The second rule was to stop all the ops at a
multi op or field day club station from going home and working the station.

If what Wally says is true, stations are lining up at another powerful
station and at slow times are working the HQ station.  I suspect that W1AW/4
worked at least 1500 USA Q's out of 4200Q's (as an example).  This is legal
the first is NOT.
