[CQ-Contest] IARU HQ Callsigns

[Martin , LU5DX]

Hi Tree.
Well...That is your interpretation of the rule.
LU4AA has been entering the contest using the same callsign scheme since
2007 upon agreement with the organizers.

To me:
10 M CW is one frequency band
10 M SSB is a complete different frequency band.

Band plans are split by MODE, not only considering a range of frequencies
"per se".

Vy 73.

Martin, LU5DX

PD: According to LU regulations we cannot enter the contest using a single
callsign for the 12 stations. LU Call areas are divided by territory
Provinces and those are identified by the first letter of the callsign
suffixes.

Saw this recently posted:

>* The Radio Club Argentino LU4AA and the LUCG (LU Contest Group) put together*>* a team for the upcoming IARU HF Championship next weekend and several*>* stations will be giving out the RCA multiplier.*>* *>* Stations as follows - hosts in parenthesis - :*>* *>* 10 SSB: LR1D*>* 10 CW LR2H*>* 15 SSB LR0H*>* 15 CW LR0F*
...

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.
