[CQ-Contest] "Back in the day" -- Single- or Multi-op?

[Zack Widup]

 This is now. That was then. Rules can be changed. Back then, the key word
was Multi-OP.  If the person was not actually OPERATING, he was not
considered an operator. So a Single-OP could have someone else log for him.

I'm not sure when the rule was changed. Probably when we started to develop
all this new technology.
