But if you are running the contest SO-SB while somebody is installing an additional antenna to your "weaponry"....  let's say that you began with the tribander and a vertical because the 2 monobander stack was not ready at the contest start and is finished and connected to a free port on your antenna switch 12 hours after contest began. I would say that switching from the monobander to the stack installed by somebody else while you operated the contest will surely contribute to your score.
