[CQ-Contest] WPX Multi-Single Question

Folks,

We are planning an informal Multi-Single operation for the WPX contest
next weekend.  I was checking the rules to see if a mult station is
allowed, as is the case in CQ WW.  The Multi-Single paragraph from the
rules is included below.  It doesn't really support a second
transmitter for mults, just a second band within 10 minutes to go work
a mult.  Of course, then I don't understand the statement about
logging which transmitter made the QSO.

So I guess no mult station - am I interpreting this right?

(a) Single-Transmitter (MULTI-ONE):

Only one transmitter and one band permitted during a 10-minute period.

Exception: One—and only one—other band may be used during a 10-minute
period if—and only if—the station worked is a new multiplier.

Ten-minute periods begin with the first logged QSO on a band.

Contacts in violation of the rule should be shown in the log and will
be removed without penalty during the log checking.

The log must indicate which transmitter made each QSO (see rule XIII(b)).

Maximum power allowed is 1500 watts total output.
