......but I'll bet you they would 'claim' both frequencies if you sent a QRL on either. Thus both frequencies were concurrently in use by them on the same band.
It is stating the obvious but this cannot be right, regardless of category.

CQ don't seem fussed about the physical number of transmitters used in any category, their focus appears to be upon the number of signals radiated at one time.  I too have listened to C4N and have failed to find a single incidence of more than one signal on a band at one time.

I have no connection with the C4N group and have no knowledge of the category they entered.  However, so far as I can see, their interleaved run stations on a single band appear consistent with recent rule interpretations/enforcements by CQ.

I understand discussions continue over whether this interpretation is the appropriate one.  We'll have to see how things play out and whether rule clarifications result but if/until then, this is the face of contesting at the top of the tree.
