[CQ-Contest] CQWW Multi-Single Rule

[Ted Bryant]

The CQ Contest Committee really needs to clarify this.

Applying Randy K5ZD's (and others)interpretation of the rules for Multi-Single 
seems to create a conflict with the rules for Multi-Two. From CQ's CQWW rules:

"III. Type of Competition
   c. Multi-Operator
   1. Single Transmitter (MS): 
      Only one transmitter and one band permitted during any 10-minute period..
      .
      .
      Exception: One-and only one-other band may be used during any 10-minute
      period if-and only if-the station worked is a new multiplier.

   2. Two Transmitter (M2):
      A maximum of two transmitted signals at any time on different bands."
