I don't think this situation is explicitly described in the rules, but I 
think it definitely enters the "grey area".  Just because you are on from a 
good multiplier QTH (and possibly the only J6 on), it doesn't mean one of 
your ops can drive down the road and give you six free multipliers.  While 
the committee might not have given you a clear answer, they probably looked 
up the J68 calls (uniques in your log?) in a DX bulletin, saw the same home 
calls as ops of the M/M, and determined this was the situation... just my 
guess.

A bunch of us were at FG5BG in 1998.  The idea of sending one of the 
licensed YLs (who was not contesting) back to the hotel to work us came up, 
but we all decided it was not in the spirit of the contest.  Luckily we 
worked some other local FGs on a few bands.
