[CQ-Contest] Mult passing: is it okay to use?

[Stan Stockton]

Frank,

Multiplier passing, in every category of entry is a technique employed  
by every winner.  Every successful entry will ask a station to QSY to  
another band when it is likely they will not work that country on  
another band otherwise.  Workin a new multiplier on one band and then  
working the same guy in the next few minutes on three additional bands  
is sometimes the memorable moment long after the contest is over.
