"At the largest station in the region, automated and ready for battle I scratch my head realizing there is no separate category to compete SO1R. The hope is that someday soon the results will display
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: -- REPLY FOLLOWS -- No, we don't. Nobody is calling for all those categories. Just as adding an amplifier gives a great advantage, adding a second radio gives a great advantage. Con
Well, why not? Why aren't we calling for those categories for M/S? There is no reason to segregate one category that is ostensibly "single transmitter" using two rigs as a single op when the exact sa
--Quoting W6WRT-- A station with only one radio can not compete against one with two. Other factors being equal, they will lose every time, just as an LP station will lose to an HP station every time
Adding a second radio isn't like turning on an amplifier. Heck, anyone can go out and buy and amp and run it in a contest. It's easy. Hook it up, turn it on, and go! Adding a second radio doesn't ma
It's never going to be "fair", but it's always going to be fun - at least for me. If it was made to be fair - "level the playing field" even I might be able to win something, get a plaque or a certif
Huh?? I run 2 radios here and made 280 Q's in the CQWW CW test. I'm sure that there are a few op's using 1 radio that could beat that :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________
I think you finally hit the nail on the head!? Being good at SO2R means you have spent a LOT of time with your radio(s) getting to that point - something that a "single radio contester just getting

The technology is available to operate S02R, if the op is good enough he can gain advantages, if not he won't. D4B was a great exponent of SO2R, Vk4TI is too busy drinking beer from the fridge to wor
The potential advantage of SO2R is more efficient use of time, accomplished by listening while transmitting. This technique was explained in detail almost 14 years ago by K1ZM in the National Contest
