My memory must be too long.

 

From the beginning until year 2000, the Multi-Single rule for WPX was:

 

2. Multi-Operator

(a) Single-Transmitter: Only one transmitter and one band permitted during the 
same time period (defined as 10 minutes).

 

 

There was no second multiplier station.  That started in 2001.

 

The problem with a category called multi-single that allows a second multiplier 
station is that it is no longer multi-single.  It is more like multi-1.5 or 
multi-two.  This is great fun for the guys with big stations that can do 
multi-two, but not so easy for the guys who can only have one station on the 
air at a time. 

 

Of course, we now see that even a single band is not enough of a limit because 
the big guys all use multiple transmitters on one band.  The original purpose 
of the category – too have a limit of one station with more than one operator – 
has been distorted.

 

I notice that those doing most of the complaining are from the big stations 
that could do multi-two, but do not want to move up to the higher level of 
competition.  But, maybe I am not understanding this correctly.

From 2008 rules :

In a time slot of 10 min u can use other band to pickup mults, interlocked with 
the run station , to be compliant with the rules of one signal only on air ..

It Is not a multiplier transmitter ??

during the same time period (defined as 10 minutes). Exception: One other band 
may be used during any 10-minute period if the station worked is a new 
multiplier. Use a separate serial number sequence for each band. Logs found in 
violation of the 10-minute rule will be automatically reclassified as 
multi-multi. Maximum power allowed is 1500 watts total output. Your log MUST 
show the correct serial number sent and received for each contact........
