[UK-CONTEST] Multi station call signs

[Steve Bunting]

Hi All,

The Clifton ARS are having a "discussion" about the use of call signs 
during multi multi contests and I wondered if any of you could shed any 
light on this for us.

I see that several groups use a single call on all bands concurrently 
during a contest. This to me makes sense on several fronts. It makes 
passing stations between bands much easier, alignment of beams on weak 
signals is simplified, removes the "Which call am I using now?" 
situation and gives you an identity as a group. My club mates argue that 
this is contrary to the terms of our licences; "You are only allowed to 
transmit on one band at a time".  I did look for a copy of BR68 at home, 
but got bored sifting through the filing cabinet - heaven knows how long 
I would have stayed awake reading the damn thing.

Could anyone shed any light on this for me? I know that members of 
GM3HAM, MM0CPS, G0VHF et al. who do the "multi single call" loiter here 
(I am not picking on you!) so comments would be welcome.
