I too would like to see something in the final listings of a contest
that would indicate if the contestant was using 2 radios. How about 
just a asterisks next to the call to indicate two radios? I'm not 
calling for a separate category but, I would like to compare apples
to apples when looking at the scores. I don't feel that it's a true
comparison when looking at someone's score who was running two rigs.
I'm working on joining the two radio crowd to try to be more competitive.
When I was sitting there calling CQ with no takers at times in the NAQP
I could really see how I could have used the second rig. We don't need
a separate category for two rigs do we? It's just what it takes anymore
to be competitive.
