[CQ-Contest] Low CW SS Activity

[David Hachadorian]

Here's an interesting tidbit.  I was the person responsible for getting 
"and then only if the second call sign is used by a different operator" 
added to the rule.  Back in about 1976, I operated at family station 
WA6WZN/WA6WZO in ORG Section. I was interleaving the two calls during 
the contest, and I remember getting a letter in the mail from ARRL 
asking "How can you have operated 40 hours in a 24 hour contest?"  What 
can I say?  I was young then, and there was no Internet.  We just did 
stuff.   I was not DQ'd, but the rule was changed for the next year.
