[CQ-Contest] WPX Multi-Single Question

Yes you can have a second transmitter that can only work multipliers on a
different band.  Once it makes a contact on that band it must stay on that
band for 10 minutes before working another multiplier on another band. The
mult station may only work multipliers and not run.

N1MM can handle marking in the log with which transmitter made the contact,
assuming you have a computer hooked up to the mult radio.  I would expect
that other logging programs can do the same.

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.
