[CQ-Contest] Band changes

[kd4d@comcast.net]

Hi Tom:

Gee, you panicked me and made me go back and check.  There is
no 10 minute rule for single operators, only for Multi-two.  There
is no Multi-Multi category in NAQP.  See
http://ncjweb.com/naqprules.php?page=2

So, a single-op can make as many band changes as he wants,
to as many bands as he wants!  You don't have to stick
around for 10 minutes unless you were a M/2 and then you
have two transmitters, each with a 10 minute rule.  You weren't
M/2 unless you were using packet...

73,

Mark, KD4D

Multi-Operator Two-Transmitter: 

More than one person performs transmitting, receiving 
and logging functions, etc. 

A maximum of two transmitted signals at any given time, 
each on a different band. Both transmitters may work 
any and all stations. 

Shall keep a separate log for each transmitter. 

Each transmitter must have at least 10 minutes between 
band changes. 

May operate for the entire 12 hours of the contest.
