If you are entering the CQWW phone this weekend (or planning to enter CQWW
CW next month) you might be interested in the new side awards program for
those doing two bands instead of a single band.
For details per 4O3A, see: so2b.org

In addition to the information at the above link, Ranko confirmed that if
you use two different call signs from the same QTH, one on each band --
which allows you to submit two CQWW SOSB entries to the contest itself --
your two bands also will count as SO2B for the SO2B program.
This is to determine interest in such a category. Communicate with Ranko
directly with any comments/questions.

Introducing SO2B – Single Operator, Two Bands!
Are you ready for a fresh challenge? The new category, CQWW 2025 introduces
SO2B (Single Operator, Two Bands) — designed to level the playing field and
give serious contesters with modest stations a real shot at top-level
competition.
- Choose 2 bands for your operation.
- Operate for up to 36 hours during the contest period.
- Submit your regular CQWW log(s), then separately report your chosen bands
and let SO2B handle the rest.
Why SO2B?
This isn’t about who has the biggest tower or the strongest signal. It’s
about strategy, skill and execution. Whether you’re in Europe, Brazil or
the Pacific — SO2B gives you an equal opportunity to shine.
Categories & Awards
SO2B offers multiple classes: High Power (Assisted & Unassisted), Low Power
(Assisted & Unassisted), QRP – Assisted. Winners will receive plaques; all
participants will receive digital certificates.
