"Field Day rules reference the number of transmitters - not the number of transmitted
signals at a given moment. Your transmitter count is what it is - for say Class 2A using a
generator and portable antennas, many Field Day operations would have a dedicated HF CW
transmitter, and a dedicated HF Phone transmitter. If you add an additional S & P
transmitter, then your Class becomes 3A."
Actually, he is mistaken, that is NOT what the Rules say, and the Field
Day rules do NOT prohibit SO2R. BUT -- section 2.3.1 of General Rules
For All Contests Below 30 MHz includes a band-change limit of six band
changes per clock hour for Multiop, Single Transmitter Class, which
significantly limits what you can do with SO2R.
If you're a single op, traditional SO2R IS clearly permitted by the FD
Rules. The prohibition in paragraph 4 of the FD Rules specifically
addresses two operators with an "octopus."
