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.
