[CQ-Contest] Multi-op rule change in CQWW

[DF3KV]

That is imho a very reasonable rule.
Consider a large M/M station with plenty of operators and multiple
transceivers on a single band blocking many frequencies for others with
their alternate cq.
There is already enough qrm in wwdx.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Multi-op rule change in CQWW

CQWW CC has created a totally unnecessary rule change for multi-ops in CQWW:

12. When two or more transmitters are present on a band, either a
software or hardware device MUST be used to prevent more than one
signal at any one time;&xnbsp; interlocking two or more transmitters
on a band with alternating CQs (soliciting contacts) is not allowed.

Those who have the capabilities of creating such a station that allows
alternate CQ's on the same band and the skills to use it efficiently
should be allowed to do it. I wonder what is behind this rule again?
We have seen past few days that the signal interlocking rule can be
enforced is one wants to it as RDXC CC has done.
