I think this is not terribly uncommon amongst serious single-banders
and during single-band contests such as the ARRL 10 Meter Contest.
I've done it (once, poorly) with a setup (at K5TR) that involved a
second receiver that was turned off whenever the main rig transmitted.
When I found a new station to work on the second receiver, I'd plug
the frequency into VFO B of the transceiver, wait for the opportune
moment, go to the B VFO, work the station, and return to the A VFO to
call CQ. It would take a few more steps to make the system really
SO2R, and even then you cannot listen on radio B while radio A is
transmitting, but there are still ways you can make use of two radios
on the same band.
