Randy I'll take back my last post as in CQ WPX CW and SSB FAQ
the rule is there. It's just that
there is no FAQ for WPX RTTY. At least I did say I thought
you were correct.

The rule does cover this. The FAQ is to help people understand how that rule
is interpreted. Otherwise the rules would be tens or hundreds of pages.
As for your category change example... going from QRP to High power doesn't
invalidate any of the QSOs that were made. Same is true for someone who
decides to turn on the cluster later in the contest. As long as they enter
assisted, then all QSOs made are within the category rules and therefore don't
violate any rules.

If something is not allowed the rules really should state it. I shouldn't have
to QSY to another set of rules to find this out.
Also: who here hasn't changed their intended category in the middle of a
contest? Like deciding QRP wasn't working and turning up the power for the rest
of the contest? (I realize going the other way doesn't work.)
Seems like this "rule" is anti-activity and arbitrary.

Q: For a single-band entry, is it allowed to be looking for multipliers on
other bands to request a QSY, sked or even just asking if a multiplier is
operating that band?
No, it is not. The rules state: "All entrants must operate within the limits of
their chosen category when performing any activity that could affect their submitted
score." Entering single band means that all activity to improve your score must be
only on that band. You are permitted to work stations on other bands, but you are not
allowed to ask them to QSY or make schedules.
Same in the CQ WPX rules FAQ. The RTTY contests don't have an FAQ, but I think
you can assume it would be similar.
You are certainly welcome to make QSOs on other bands while entering single
band. You just shouldn't ask for people to move to your band. The guiding
rule is this:
X. GENERAL RULES FOR ALL ENTRANTS:
A. Entrants must operate within the limits of their chosen category when
performing any activity that could affect their submitted score.

GM All
It has been a few years since I last read the rules so I decided to
look them over.
Actually I read them a few times. My memory is not what it once was
so maybe
I remember wrong. I could find no rule in regards to a Single Band
operator
who is competing on say 40 meters yet goes to 20 meters and ask if an
operator
there could QSY to 40. I thought some years back that was against
the rules.
Remember I am talking about Single Band operation, not all band
operations.
Are we allowed to ask a 20 meter guy to QSY to 40 meters? Yes I know
it takes
time and how often would you want to do it but that is not my
question.
