        Then I would conclude not knowing what you are doing is
        just as safe as knowing what you are doing? Makes sense
        to me...ignorance is bliss. I've yet to see the August
        issue but can hardly wait now - the guy must be really
        hanging his watusi out there...speaking of which, talk
        about dangerous, how 'bout the guy pushing his songs
        about ham radio by hanging on to a tower with his guitar
        in one hand! Everyone knows you should never play a
        guitar like that...

        ...think I'll go get a cup of coffee down at MacD's...

I disagree. A Beverage has a high voltage (therefore low current) 
induced. low current = low loss. I've used 17 ga electric fence wire for 
several years for a Beverage and am very pleased with performance. Also 
it's real cheap - about $10 for 1/2 mile at Agway. 73

Your score comes first.  I would say...

LATER    or how about    N

CQ CQ TEST KN5H KN5H

Hey...  Who's gonna argue with you not wanting to screw up a run?


HOWEVER!!!!

If I were you... I would take the 2nd radio up to where ever it was he
wanted you to move.  Tell him "you call me" and listen.  When he calls you,
work him.  In my case (except in Mass) the 2nd radio locks out the CQ radio
and sometimes screws up a report.  Like:  KN5H B____  GA or something like
that.  Usually worse.  I completely ignore the guy on the CQ radio while the
2nd radio QSO is taking place.  You will come back to a guy sending ???? on
the CQ radio, but at least you worked both of them and only inconvenienced
and confused one.

In a contest like the NAQP, everyone you can move is important.  Only
500-800 QSO's.  30 or 40 moves is alot of bonus QSOs and probably mults.

Hope this is of some value to someone.
