Jim,

I know that in ARRL DX when doing a Multi-Single the run and multiplier station are both treated as being the same radio. You have to stop running and QSY to work a multiplier then go back to your run frequency. With a limit of 6 band changes you would probably only have time to work 3 multipliers each hour unless you lined them up in the band map ahead of time by listening on a 2nd radio and worked them real quick . You could also risk losing your run frequency.

/3.4.4 Band Changes. Single Transmitter and Two Transmitter sub-category entries are limited to six (6) band changes per clock hour per transmitter./

/
/

In CQWW you are allowed a dedicated multiplier radio that has to follow a 10 minute rule./
/


/*1. Single Transmitter (MULTI-ONE):*Only one transmitted signal on one band permitted during any 10-minute period (run station/signal). Exception: One — and only one — other transmitted signal (multiplier station/signal) may be used during any 10-minute period, if — and only if — it is on a different band from the run transmitter and the station worked is a new multiplier. The run and multiplier transmitters are governed by independent 10-minute rules. Ten-minute periods begin with the first QSO on a band. The log must indicate which station/signal (run or multiplier) made each QSO. The multiplier station/signal may not call CQ (solicit contacts). Please be sure to read the Multi-Single FAQ section at <cqww.com/rules_faq.htm <https://cqww.com/rules_faq.htm>>./

/T/he Multi-Single rules for CQ WPX are similar to ARRL DX /:
/


/*1. Single-Transmitter (MULTI-ONE):*Only one transmitted signal is permitted at any time. A maximum of ten (10) band changes may be made in any clock hour (00 through 59 minutes). For example, a change from 20 meters to 40 meters and then back to 20 meters counts as two band changes. Use a single serial number sequence for the entire log./

/It seems like a trip to the Caribbean as a Multi-Single for either ARRL DX or WPX wouldn't be much fun since only one person could operate at a time./

The ARRL rule is somewhat unclear -  Does the rule apply to multioperator 
stations?
2.1.2. Single-Operator stations are allowed only one transmitted signal at any given time; alternating CQs on two or more frequencies using the same band and mode is prohibited.


And note the rule applies only to the same mode; alternating CQs between CW and 
SSB are OK, i.e. in the 10 meter contest.

"The rules for ARRL contests prohibit dual CQing on the same band:"

This is also true for CQ sponsored contests. It is general rule IX 7.:

"Only one signal on a band is allowed at any time. When two or more
transmitters are present on the same band, a hardware device MUST be
used to prevent more than one signal at any one time. Alternating CQs
on two or more frequencies on a band is not permitted."
