[CQ-Contest] Preliminary 2010 CQ WPX SSB/CW Contest Rules

[Steve London]

IMHO, the proposed changes to the M/S rules make very little difference. I'm 
still going to use 2 radios, and keep 2 ops busy all the time, but have a 
lockout to prevent simultaneous transmissions. One radio will be the primary 
band radio, the other will be a secondary band radio. The primary band radio 
will be running 90+% of the time. The secondary band radio will be scouting for 
multipliers on other bands, and making assessments on whether the primary band 
radio should QSY to a new band. When there are "enough" new multipliers on the 
secondary band, one of the 8-per-hour band changes will be used to quickly pick 
off the mults. Of course, there is nothing to stop the secondary band operator 
from working non-mults on the secondary band at the same time. All part of the 
strategy/fun. The primary run operator can use this time for personal needs. A 
second band change will be used to get back to running on the primary band. Part 
of the strategy/fun is to figure out what "enough" new multipliers and new 
non-mults means - that will change as the contest proceeds, and even within an hour.
