If you want to dangle the carrot on RIG 1 why not set up a keyer there
where you can send the ubiquitous

diDAHHHdididit -or- didiDAHDAHdidit?

I bet this prehistoric operating technique would salvage at least half
those Qs, maybe all.  To stay legal you'd just have to send it while
receiving the other exchange on RIG 2.  We were multi-singling with an
ocatapus box (TR on 2 computers/radios networked), and I think we lost one
guy all weekend because he couldn't wait around - and we DIDN'T have any
external keyer set up - we could steal the PTT from the other rig, though,
so he then had to go back for a correction, but it kept the impatient CQ
answerer back on RIG 1 in the log virtually every time, and because of our
octapus hardware we never broke the rule.
