b) Single Operator participants may change bands and modes
without restrictions. Only one signal can be transmitted at any given time.
c) MOST stations are limited by 10 minutes rule. Only
one transmitted signal on one band permitted during any 10-minute period (run
transmitter). Exception: One and only one other transmitted signal (multiplier
transmitter) may be used during any 10-minute period, if and only if it is on a
different band than the run transmitter and the station worked is a new
multiplier. The run and multiplier transmitters are governed by independent

multiplier transmitter may not call CQ or solicit contacts.

Network is allowed for all categories. The use of a local skimmer is
allowed only if its hardware is located in the same location with the entrant
station (within the 500m radius circle).
g) Remote operation is permitted if the physical location of
all transmitters, receivers, and antennas are at one station location. A
remotely operated station must obey all station license, operator license, and
