SO2R ops aren't using two freqs. They are CQing on one and answering
stations on another freq already in use by someone else.

Not the issue. SO2R wouldn't be on a second frequency if it were not producing
contacts.
SO2R operators have twice the spectrum use of SO1R.
THAT is the advantage. Why do multi ops exists? To sit on a frequency calling
CQ into dead air??
I've been doing multi operator contests for over 30 years.

Not necessarily since propagation varies widely within that space.

What if you look at the spectrum as 1.8 - 30mhz. One station cq'ing on two
frequencies is using twice the spectrum. Regardless of the 'band' you are on.
Riiiight?? :)
SO2R operators effectively get to use twice the spectrum that SO1R operators
use...right?

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.

As far as spectrum usage goes what is the difference between this and a
single op CQing on two bands?

Jeff,
Thanks for the comments. I agree with your interpretation of the rules, I
don't like that it is allowed and like many have asked the ARRL to close
this loophole.
Many believe that if everyone adopted this philosophy that the band would
be a mess. People would have a very difficult time finding a place to CQ
unless you were a big gun etc.
73 and thanks for all the contacts from everywhere!
