[UK-CONTEST] IARU Rules

[Ian Fugler G4IIY]

It is a strange rule, but was the same last year.  In 2007, there were three 
operators here at the station doing the IARU contest.  We did a multi-single 
type effort, with the second station only working mults.  But there is no 
such category in IARU, so we could not submit an entry.

At least you have checked the rule before the event, which is something that 
I didn't do !

I see that in the IARU rules the multi-op, single trasmitter category
says:
You are not allowed a second radio that works only multipliers
So, you are literally only allowed not just one transmitted signal
(fine) but only one transmitter. You have multiple operators, but they
wait in a queue behind the only radio? And once you QSY to work a mult
you have to remain on the QSY'ed band for another 10 minutes?
Surely it should say:
You are allowed a second radio that works only multipliers
...or am I missing something?
