However, KU7Y is concerned that they can't afford a second radio.

If they can't afford a second radio, it is hardly likely that they can afford the antennas needed to win a competitive class in a major contest.

I think SO2R and SO1R should be in different classes.

I admire the skills those SO2R operators have and appreciate the investment
they have made both in equipment and in the time needed to learn to this.

But what chance does anyone have of winning their class when all they have
and
can afford is one radio?

OTOH, I have no idea how much extra work it would be for the contest sponsors
to add yet another class.

OK, back in my hole,
