If all a person wants to do is maximize their score, then SO2R is the
way to go.  Think of all you don't have to worry about:

1.  No band strategy.  You're monitoring all of them all the time.
2.  No knowledge of propagation.  When a band opens, you're there.
3.  No decision whether to CQ or S&P.  You are doing both.
4.  No real radio smarts required.  Only manual dexterity.

A CB'ers paradise.  (Ok, cheap shot, but some truth therein).

Bill, W7TI
