Hello Bob et al
This was first highlighted by someone else here on this reflector. It is a
subtle wording problem in the last paragraph :
"two consecutive contacts on a different band or mode"
should read :
"two consecutive contacts between which there is a change of band or mode"
As an example, if you are on 20m SSB and move a Mult who has called you to
15m SSB, work him there then continue on 20m SSB with your Run, this is not
"two consecutive contacts on a different band or mode", it is only "ONE
contact on a different band or mode" then back to the same band Run
station.
Let's be clear - if too many people were using more than one Mult station,
then this Band/Mode changes rule is not the way to cure that problem. It
stifles completely one of the most interesting and enjoyable aspects of IOTA
i.e. the challenge of moving a Mult between several bands and modes over a
period of a few minutes.
