[CQ-Contest] WPX M/S 10min rule

[Igor Sokolov]

If I remember correctly, the idea behind dropping ten minute rule was to 
equalize the playing field and let those "primitive"  Multy Singles who 
only has one radio and several operators to be on par with big MS stations. 
Forbidding dueling CQ on the same band was another rule change made with the 
same aim. If that was the objective it has not worked. At the same time this 
rule change made WPX less appealing for medium size MS stations who are not 
capable of simultaneously listening and transmitting on the same band and 
use lockout to maintain just one signal.
I think 10 min rule should be brought back in order to increase MS 
participation.
