Different countries have different rules and licensing regulations. Some 
issue callsign to the station, some to the operator, some, like old Canadian 
system, have callsign issued to the station and also operator's certificate. I can 
see that A61 can have own strict rules. I agree with Jim that if the contest 
rules are spelled out not to allow multiple single band operations from the 
same station/callsign then that's it. If the exception was made then perhaps it 
should be announced on the reflector ahead, but again, not everyone is on and 
confusion can ensue.

Doing single bands with the same callsign from big multi opens up for 
speculations of going MM and if beaten by another one, just to claim single bands. 
Never mind packet if used.

While there is nothing wrong of having some operators to "drive in" to 
another station, but driving super MM station in the single band category, seems 
like bringing Ferrari to Nascar. I always took pride in building and operating my 
own station in the contests,  I admire those who build their own stations and 
pilot them to top boxes. But there come times when things change and old 
champs look for other "vehicles". 

So looks like with heat of competition we strive for pushing the bar. Can I 
be exempt from just one signal per band? I'd like to have signal every 10 kHz 
calling CQ, ...jus' kidding.
