The difference (to me, anyway) is that multiband SO2R essentially takes
two complete stations capable of simultaneous operation even if they're
both not in transmit mode at the same moment.
That's where the line is - for me.

That's seldom the case, there are usually two xcvrs networked into the
overall system with a single fast-bandswitching amp and usual
relay-switched antennas. Or a tribander for the high bands.

OTOH, it could be argued that as long as there is only one signal
actually transmitted at any given time, and only one operator, there's
only one "station", regardless of how much hardware is involved.

One guy in one seat is SO end of.

Now for a topic in the opposite direction: How about an "Iron" category
(as in "Iron Chef" or "Ironman", etc.).

One rig at a time, only. No second VFO, receivers or memories. No
computer logging. No memory keyers for voice or code. 150 W maximum
power.

That's you're normal mode, you da pro there. Take it into the next CQ
WW bash and show 'em how it's done. Maybe you'll impress the contest
desk enough with your results that they'll go for your category.
