Some bands are more limited in space than others.
40m - 75kHz
20m - 200kHz
15m - 250kHz
10m - 1.4MHz
Some bands are more productive than others, depending on propagation.
So with two CQs by one station on the same band the station engaging in
this practice takes up twice the space and denies others the use of the
productive or limited space band.
CQing on two bands is different because the other band may not be as
productive, and even underused in low solar years.
