IMHO, regardless of how many radios are on your desk, when you are operating S/P, it is your responsibility to be as efficient as possible to the CQing station? After all, it was "your" choice to call! And speaking of "tiresome', very little infuriates me more, during a contest, as having to wait on a "multiple radio" user to complete a contact on another band, before returning to me. If I am CQing, and you answer me, you should be ready, immediately, to send the exchange, in an equally efficient format that you received it. If you are CQing, and I call you, I immediately return my exchange. I realize that there are other reasons for the delay, so please don't remind me of them. This is a competition, with incentives to win, regardless of their value. When you value your time, more than you value my time, you're being inconsiderate? Personally, unless it is a "new", for me, DX station, I seldom turn my station on, during the week. That is my "choice", and for those that enjoy operating any/all other modes, but not contesting, it is also your "choice" to operate during a major contest weekend.
