I agree with Oms.

Unfortunately, it's apparently OK to violate this rule,
at least in phone SS. Last year, several stations reported 
hearing the winning multi-op simultaneously on more than 
one band. We could hear the other ops shouting out reports
from other operating positions while we copied our own.
They could also be heard on two receivers on two different
bands simultaneously.  

If they had a lock-out, it wasn't working properly. It may 
have been a mistake, but it happened repeatedly. They were 
not DQ'ed, and instead were rewarded with the winning trophy.
I guess we'll have to configure for multi-multi this year
if we want to compete in phone SS.
