Wil,
It is confusing. I don't know what it means either, the Exception. But here is
my direct interpretation reading word for word:
1 - From what I read, you may have a multiplier station, and during that "time
period" which I am reading as 0 through 59 minutes, that multiplier station can
work a station (one, and only one - it does that say stations, just station, as
one)
that is a multiplier.
Now here is what I think it's suppose to mean:
2 - You may have a multiplier station(s) and you may work multipliers ONLY on
that
station(s), but that multiplier station can only have 6 band changes per hour
(0-59)
and does not reflect the 6 band change limit for the "run" station. Both the
"run"
station and the "multiplier" station have the 6 band change limit.
What you show below is OK from what I "think" the rule means. What you show
is that both your run and multiplier station changed bands 5 times during the
0-59
minutes.
Perhaps Glenn or Eddie can clear this up.

Subject: [RTTY] Question about new rules in CQ/RJ-WW-RTTY
Hi all,
there are new rules in the 2001 CQ/RJ-WWDX RTTY Contest for Multi Single.
2. Multi-Operator (All band operation only)
(a) Single-Transmitter: Only one transmitted signal at any time. Limited to 6
band changes
in any clock hour (0 through 59 minutes.) For example, a change from 20 meters
to 40 meters
and then back to 20 meters constitutes two band changes.
Two power categories: Low Power (150W or less), and High Power (greater than
150W.)
Exception: One and only one other band may be used during the same time period
if and only if the station worked is a new multiplier. Violation of the 6
band-change rule
by either transmitter may result in reclassification to the Multi-Multi
category.
can someone explain the Exception. what exact does it mean??
What happen, the running station can change 6 bands per hour, can the multi-
plier station either?? so example:
running: multi
00.00--00.10 10m 00.00--00.10 20m
00.11--00.20 15m 00.11--00.20 10m
00.21--00.30 20m 00.21--00.30 15m
00.31--00.40 15m 00.31--00.40 40m
00.41--00.50 40m 00.41--00.50 20m
00.51--01.00 20m 00.51--01.00 80m
etc
This is, what I read from the rules, is this OK..?? ore may be someone can
explain
the rules a bit clearly.
