[CQ-Contest] SO3R???

[CT1BOH - José Carlos Cardoso Nunes]

There are several ways to explore SO3R:

Here is one than can be done from Aruba @P40E:

Radio 1: I'am running on 20 (during night time) beaming USA and EU
Radio 2: S&P on 15 on a very quiet band beaming west/south looking Pacific
and Asia long path multipliers
Radio 3: on and almost dead 10 meter band with no USA or EU propagation,
transmit an automatic fast CQ or just my Call P40E, right after each TX on
radio 1, looking for those elusive Pacific or Asia long path or Indian ocean
Short path multipliers to call you

Now the trick is when to listen on that radio 3 because you are sharing RX
with radio 1, which is RUN radio, and you dont want to mess the incoming
calls?

1. Dont't RX all the time but look at the S meter, if the radio has a
spectrum display it's even easier
2. RX radio1+radio3 ONLY right after you send other station RST+Zone with
run radio 1

and then what, you pull a rabbit out of your hat?  i would like to see
someone use 3 radios in a meaningful way.  i don't see how you can actively
use them.  if the 1st radio is calling CQ and you are tuning the second, are
you listening for replies on the 1st rig?  maybe that's why when i tried
answering several calls i just got the same pre-recorded message again and
again.  so you set the 3rd rig to scan the band and listen to activity?
what do the headphones look like for that setup.

but the real question is can you work SO3R, log the qso (from which radio i
have no idea), and turn the beam all while chewing gum?
