This appears to conflict with the following rule for the IARU contest:
"4.3.3. Only one HQ station callsign per member society per frequency band is
permitted."
The rules can be found here: http://www.arrl.org/iaru-hf-championship
I would interpret a "frequency band" as being all of 10 meters for example.
This is likely the case because of the way the multiplier rule is worded:
"Multipliers: The total number of ITU zones plus IARU member society HQ
stations worked on each band (not mode)."
In the case above - I am sure the intent of the rules would not have been
to count LR1D and LR2H as two multpliers in the contest.
