As part of the annual SO2R debate string on the RTTY reflector I added to
the noise, in part with the paragraph below. Now that I use Writelog on
all modes I find I miss some of TRLOG's features.
"Actually TRLOG has a feature called "dueling CQs" which allows the CW
or SSB SO2R operator to run on both radios using lockout. It can be made
to work quite well on SSB as well as CW. That feature has been around a
long time and most TR SO2R ops use it from time to time, including
myself. I have found that alternating CQs on RTTY(manually) with Writelog
to be non productive for two reasons: (1) I use RITTY on my #1 radio and
MMTTY on my #2 radio and for some unexplained reason the "timed CQ"
function has a different listening time with MMTTY than with RITTY. I
have never been able to find a delay which works well with both at the
same time (a minor bug that Wayne might fix someday) and (2) the
listening times on RTTY are long and so are some calls while others can
be quite short. Its much harder for me to sustain a "rhythm" like I can
on the other modes. Then again it may just be my own limitation and
others may have made it work. Being "DX" I do a lot more CQing and
running than S&P and Mult chasing and would like to see Writelog have a
dueling CQ function, at least for CW and SSB."
