I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are about 2BSIQ ? Do you think it's fair to group those who operate this way in with a traditional single-operator or should it (and SO2R) be a separate categ
Hi Jeff, I don't think that it should be a special category.They just work hard to do what the brain/the rule permits : one signal at a time. You can do it like those guys (or not ?).Imagine if I dri
Jeff, There is a lot in this beyond 2BSIQ however I will just comment on that. The basis of all SO contesting is one signal on a band a time. Whether its working a mult on the second radio SO2R or wo

Jeff, I'm going to have to disagree with you. The fact of the matter is that the current rules fully allow 2BSIQ operating. The rules of most all contests for single operators state that only one tra
"The rules for ARRL contests prohibit dual CQing on the same band:" This is also true for CQ sponsored contests. It is general rule IX 7.: "Only one signal on a band is allowed at any time. When two
Hey Jeff, What's up? Bee in your bonnet or just fishing? hi I mostly agree with Ed and Dmitri's comments. In just 2 posts they pretty much covered it. How many ops in the shack? (One?, OK, single op

The ARRL rule is somewhat unclear - Does the rule apply to multioperator stations? 2.1.2. Single-Operator stations are allowed only one transmitted signal at any given time; alternating CQs on two o

Ria, You totally missed the point. I never proposed that the ARRL (or CQ) allow dual CQing on the SAME band. The fact is that this practice was allowed in the ARRL DX contest up until about 5 years a

I since noticed that it does apply to multis. However, I thought it a bit odd that it was listed four times, once for each category, rather than as a basic rule for all. 73 - Jim --Original Message

Jeff, I agree with you. As an example when operating ARRL from the Caribbean and running on 15M SO1R unassisted, sometimes you have to make a decision to stop your run and see if 10M opened. But if I
Jim, I know that in ARRL DX when doing a Multi-Single the run and multiplier station are both treated as being the same radio. You have to stop running and QSY to work a multiplier then go back to yo
Jeff, calm down. I was merely pointing out that this isnt *just* a rule from the big, bad ARRL. Rather, its common to both ARRL and CQ. Dont read more into it than there is. There is nothing else the

I think 2BSIQ is no different Than SO2R. It is simply taking operator skill to a higher level. Martin N4UU _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contestin

Hi Jeff, 2BSIQ may currently be the only fair aspect of contesting. The development of that skill can occur anywhere so long as the individual has a computer, headphones, and the necessary desire to
