It is very easy to see who was doing alternating CQs on two bands if you look
them up on the reversebeacon spot analysis tool. Because of the slow rate in SS
everyone sends lots of CQs and there seem to be more reversebeacon hits than in
other contests.

I also noticed this on a couple
of M stations. Likely they had another radio w/op running
while they scouted for Qs. I erased a couple before they
came back and had to scramble when they started their
exchange.
I didn’t dare try
alternating CQs with that kind of exchange. I can’t do
it very well even with short exchanges on cw so hopefully no
one had that problem with me.
I still hate
the cluster pileups where everyone is on the same frequency
and it’s near impossible to pull one out. Luckily there
are a few who know to drop their call in again and off we
go….

Subject: [CQ-Contest] SO2R in the SS
This weekend I worked in the
SS a few stations that I assumed were ronning
SO2R. They called CQ. I answered - no
reply. I called again - no reply.
Just as
I was gong to move the VFO, they came back. Signals were
LOUD so I
assume they were copying me just
fine as I had been working stations mostly
with just one call.
I think it is kind of rude to assume if you are
working someone on radio 1,
stations should
just sit and wait for you to finish and come back to
whoever is calling you on radio 2. Especially
with the long exchange in the
SS and you are
sending about 20 WPM. 73
