The CQ  Rules refer to a "single element" antenna.  An
element is a unit that  cannot be broken down any
further and still maintain its' identity.   For
exemple, the elements forming water are Hydrogen  and
Oxygen.

The problem is that the Amateur community  hasn't
sufficiently defined the term "element" within the
context of  'antenna'.

Until then, make the most informed choice that you  can
and have fun in the contest.

A few years ago I won WPX CW in the SO AB TB-wires category from J7A.   I 
reported a C3, and 40m and 80m delta loops.  The delta loops must  have met the 
requirements of the rules, as they awarded me 1st place.
