According to the announcement on the ARRL web page, the 10 minute rule
applies only to
Multi-single stations. Unfortunately, CQ's abbreviated announcement is
misleading.

		In CQ Magazine this month the rules of the IARU read as
follows:

		Categories:  Single Operator, CW only, phone only, and
mixed modes.
		Multi-Operator, single transmitter, mixed mode only.
Stations must remain
		on a band for at least 10 minutes.


		Now...  I read this to say that EVERYONE has to stay on
a band for 10
		minutes once you have QSY'ed.  Even single-ops.  Am I
wrong?  That doesn't
		make much sense to me.
