You must be a new subscriber, because we just went through this 
discussion two days ago.

Excerpt from the rules:

---------------------------
3. Entry Categories:
3.1. Single Operator:

3.1.1. Low Power.

3.1.2. High Power.

3.2. Multioperator, Single Transmitter:

3.2.1 Power.

3.2.1.1 Low Power

3.2.1.2. High Power

3.2.2. Stations are allowed only one transmitted signal at any given 
time..

3.2.3. Includes those single operators that use any form of spotting 
assistance such as from nets or packet.

3.2.4 Includes those that receive assistance with logging or relief 
operators, etc.

3.2.5 Limited to 6 band changes (maximum) in any clock hour.

3.2.6 The clock hour is from zero through 59 minutes.

3.2.7 Band changes are defined so that, for example, a change from 20 
meters 15 meters and then back to 20 meters constitutes two band 
changes.

---------------------------

rule 3.2.5 is a subparagraph of 3.2 - Multioperator, Single 
transmitter. It does not apply to 3.1 - Single Operator

This paragraph numbering system is very common in legal documents, and 
is extremely effective in pointing out what applies to what, but you 
have to watch the paragraph numbers carefully.
