I asked N8BJQ about this and got the following reply:
Ken
My original intent as by transmitter but that appears to be quite
difficult to implement. I will be happy with numbers per band.
Thanks
Steve

Subject: [ct-user] WPX M/S Rules and Contest Software
Hi Kenny,
I remember well that the rules were adapted to use M/M configurations in
the Contest Programs,but the way that
you suggest ( using M/M setup and respecting the M/S 10min rules ) is
not compliant to the rules that follows :
WPX 2002 Rules
2. Multi-Operator (All band operation only)
(a) Single-Transmitter: Only one transmitter and one band permitted
during the same time period (defined as 10
minutes). Exception: One-and only one-other band may be used during any
10-minute period if-and only if-the
station worked is a new multiplier. Use a separate serial numbers for
the multiplier station. Logs found in violation
of the 10-minute rule will be automatically reclassified as multi-multi.
Maximum power allowed is 1500 watts total
output power. Your log MUST show the correct serial number sent for each
contact. (MULTI-ONE)
I understand, but I can be wrong, that the multiplier station MUST use a
separate serial numbers, completly separate
from running serial numbers. Each group of serial numbers are not
separate by band, Runner Numbers start from 0000
on Running band AND on the same 10 min period a Mult station can work
needed mult's on another band starting again
from 0000.
Some Example of what I had understood :
Time RunnerBand RunnerSerial MultBand MultSerial
0000 20 0001 40 0001
New Mult
0001 20 0002 40 0002
"
0002 20 0003 40 0003
"
0003 20 0004 40 0004
"
0004 20 0005 40 0005
"
0005 20 0006 40 0006
"
0006 20 0007 40 0007
"
0007 20 0008 40 0008
"
0008 20 0009 40 0009
"
0009 20 0010 40 0010
"
0010 20 0011 40 0011
"
0011 20 0012 15 0012
"
0012 40 0013 15 0013
"
0013 40 0014 15 0014
"
0014 40 0015 15 0015
"
The M/M configuration in CT don't solve the problem, because in this way
you have 6 different Serial Numbers sequence by band, but is not what
the rules claims. The big difference is that CT count the QSO by band,
the rules need to count the QSO by Computer were QSO is logged. Writelog
has similar kind of Serial manging, but has another bad features, has
slow Master.DTA search, mouse dipendent menu and so on that we don't
agree.
I cannot see another view to read the rules, but probable on the mind of
the writer there was a good idea, but on the paper it's dont seem the
same that thinked .... or am I in wrong ?? Light me !!
