Not too many years ago it was considered poor operating practice to work
a DXped on RTTY on more than one band, in order to give more guys a shot
at working a rare one. However, with well-planned and well-run DXpeds
like N8S, there's plenty of time for everyone to have a good shot on any
band/mode where there's propagation.
Besides Al Gore and Jim, I blame the ARRL - I thought it was a mistake
to start all the single band awards. But I guess they needed to satisfy
the egos of all the "mature" DXers who have already worked everything.
