Are any dxpeditions running two radios for transmit? It would seem that this would be a no brainer. There is sooooooooo much dead or down time even when sending 599 599 call that one decent op should be able to work two rigs at the same time and effectively double their rate.

One would have to be two radios and two antennas or a triplexer or similar to allow one to be on two bands at the same time.

I am certain that most of the competitive contest ops are using so2 or so3 r these days. Do you guys think that a decent op can run two pileups on a top 10-25 ranked dxpedition?

RTTY seems to be more popular but still somewhat of an after thought with dxpeditions.
