[CQ-Contest] SO1R v SO2R

Nope. It's because the category is called "Single Operator," and it should
remain that in spirit. Single operator: One brain, one set of hands, eyes,
ears, etc. Put another way, no operating assistance from any other person.
That's why some of us have strong feelings about keeping the Single Operator
category as it's currently defined (at least in most major contests).

I certainly am. It would limit the amount of FUN I can have in operating
contests. That would suck.

Answer: SINGLE OPERATOR = SINGLE OPERATOR.

ps: There's a pretty lively debate happening on a contesting.com forum about
this right now.
