Actually, you are all wrong :)
Dueling CQ's has been the name of a feature common in contesting
software for many years. CQ's flip-flop between 2 radios. When there is
an answer on one radio, then the CQ is terminated on the other radio. No
attempt is made to have two simultaneous QSO's in progress at the same time.
It's unfortunate that the term "dueling CQ's" has been co-opted to mean
simultaneous QSO's.
At the risk of adding to the confusion, I would suggest this terminology:
- Alternating CQ's. The old "dueling CQ's" feature.
- Dueling contacts. Simultaneous QSO's, but never transmitting on two
frequencies at the same time.

OK, this is driving me nuts. The wrong terminology is being used here.
They are NOT dual CQing. That would be a violation of the rules.
DUAL CQing would mean they are CQing at the same time.
Think about "DUAL citizenship"
Think about "DUAL universes"
Think about "DUAL responsibility"
Think about "DUAL ownership"
All of these signify "at the same time."
The correct term for what OO and MJ (and NT and others) are doing is called
DUELING CQs.
First, rig 1 calls CQ (or test or dit-dit), THEN (not at the same time) rig 2
calls CQ.
They go back and forth, as in a DUEL
Think about Olympic fencing
Parry then Riposte
OK, no idea if anyone cares about this but me, but I feel better now.
Thanks for the bandwidth.
