[CQ-Contest] NAQP CW - Value of 2 Radios

[N6ZZ at aol.com]

In his recent NAQP score posting on 3830, N5TJ made the following comment:

"Conditions were good overall with nice openings on 10 and 15. 20 and 40 
sounded strange at times, hard to get a response to CQs. Thats when 
Radio#2 comes in handy. According to TRLOG I made 200+ QSOs on the 
second radio. And a little over 40 of those were multiplier moves."


I'd be interested in a bit of information from the rest of you that appear to
be in the top ten in last weekend's CW NAQP.  In addition to Jeff, that would
(currently) include:  K3MM, N4ZZ, NM5M, AA3B, K4FXN, N4AF, K0EJ, K6LL and
K3PH.  My questions are:

  1.  Did you use two radios in a somewhat efficient manner?  (Such as CQing
on one band while listening on another)

If the answer to #1 is yes:

  2.  How many additional QSOs do you think you got by using two radios, as
compared to what you would have gotten had you been using only one radio?

  3.  How many additional multipliers do you think you got by using two
radios, as compared to what you would have gotten had you been using only one
radio?

Thanks & 73....
