[OhQP-mail] Ruling, Please

In reading the rules for the Ohio QSO party, I find, under miscellaneous 
rules:

3. Any station used to contact one or more stations may not be 
subsequently used under any other callsign during the contest period 
from that county/state/province/dx entity, with the exception of family 
stations where more than one callsign is assigned. Under these 
circumstances, no individual shall make a QSO utilizing more than one 
callsign.

I volunteered to run W1AW/8 from DELAware county, but would like to make 
a few Q's using N8Q (QRP) from DELAware county using the same rig and 
location.  I didn't think to ask this question before - but, would 
running W1AW/8 and N8Q be considered an exception to this rule?

I figure I better ask, because I remember some rather difficult 
negotiations in the past when some rag-tag non-contest group from SW 
Ohio won several plaques but only after extended discussion and 
deliberation which rested on some "unwritten rules" which were 
supposedly in place, but not written nor referenced anywhere in then 
existing rules.

Looking forward to seeing many of y'all from DELAware county as W1AW/8 
and (hopefully fully qualified) N8Q.

72/73 de n8xx Hg
QRP >99.44% of the time
except when running as or chasing W1AW/portables
