[CQ-Contest] I loved the WPX - missing 10 min MS rule

[I4UFH]

Well

even the MS 10bnd rules has been added to limit, or avoid 2 signals simultaneously , RUN e mult station, as in the CQWW, this solution
was not the right solution.  A good hybrid solution could be to allow a second radio into a 10min slot to work multiplier WITH interlocked so only one signal is allowed at a defined time. This solution can be enforced with the SDR network that allow to check the strictly compliant to one signal at time, add fun to spend time at mult station to catch multiplier, one serial number, and for who had in-band Hardware facilities an addictive to gain more fun and QSO.

At the end new technology , SDR, allow to go back to 10min rules, with a tool that enforce it, and avoid cheater to use 2 sign simultaneously. ( Even in the last WPX some top scorers still live on the border of the rule, hope SDR will do it's work ! ).

> Russian/Ukraininian (and whatever we can call it) Multi Single is an exciting form of contesting. It is indeed according to existing rules, so the debate is not about this. The debate is more related to missing possible M/S participants because of getting a too extreme and specialized variant of M/S with 2,3,4 or even more interlocked stations.

The form of M/S with interlocked in-band stations is exciting and a true evidence of teamwork and operating skills - BUT it is not to be compared with conventional M(S setups and operating possibilities.

> It is not so easy to say that M/S stations of the conventional type will move to M2 or MM.  There is also a significant chance that a bunch of 3-4 M/S operators now will be one SO operator and 3 guys staying at home. Is that good development?

> I suggest that M/S could be divided in one strict Multi Operator SINGLE TX with only one TX allowed as RUN and one additional station for the second band opportunity in case of 10 minute rule.  M/S Extreme will be the new name for those who like to enjoy the challenge and true teamwork of many interlocked stations on one band.
