It was widely known - and accepted - that most of the SS Top 10 from 25-30
years ago was employing SO2R tactics in some manner or another. There were NCJ
articles describing various switching schemes, methods, etc.
SO2R was never an "issue" until a convenient and nearly instantaneous soapbox
known as CQ-Contest became widely available with the proliferation of easy
Internet access. Find any "Letter to NCJ" from years back that was against
SO2R or calling for separation of 1R vs 2R.
