A QSO with the same station is permitted in another band or period (no time limit), or in another mode in the same band (observing sub-bands) after 30 minutes have passed since the original QSO with that station. Mixed QSOs, and QSO time imbalance exceeding 2 minutes, are not permitted. Club teams consist of 3 persons. One, two or more teams can compete for the same station in turn in their own period (not simultaneously; "relay-race" is OK). Adult coaches are permitted to provide technical assistance, guidance and emergency support to the young operators (but not operating help). They are also permitted to assist in making the report after the Contest, but not in logging during Contest operation. All the rules of the Contest should be observed, otherwise the offending station will be struck off the list. The same applies to stations causing excessive QRM.
