[CQ-Contest] Two callsign, two op, single station

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

It could be very interesting.  Same station, different ops/calls, diffeent
times... a comparison between the two logs would really come down to
propagation and operator skill since the equipment available would be
otherwise equal.

However, if I'm not mistaken, many if not most major contests disallow this
in principle, with the exception of a single station that is assigned more
than one call (such as a family station -- husband/wife, parent/child,
etc.).  So if you were to do this in a major contest, you couldn't send in
an entry unless you were given a waiver for the purposes of the experiment.

Hope you enjoyed CQ WW CW.  What little operating time I had, I did!  Picked
up a few new ones and filled in a few bands for some entities... really need
to get a 160 antenna up somehow, though...

CQ WW 06 single operator, packet monitoring, packet contributing,
eavesdropping on who the big guns worked when applicable, and not giving
a... hoot about category because I didn't work enough to bother sending in a
log anyway... ok, maybe a check log...

It occurred to me during CQWW CW this weekend that the contest  could be
very
exciting if two operators shared one station with two  callsigns.  I'm
talking about taking one or two hour shifts during the  prime hours, and
perhaps a
longer shift during the wee hours of the morning and  the high-absorption
mid-day hours, with alternating callsigns and comparing  scores at the end
of the
contest.

Seems like it might break up the 48 hours a bit and maybe even allow some
rest for our aging contest population.  Although it might be a crap  shoot
as
far as good vs. bad hours and conditions, it might also address that  "level
playing field" issue.

Thoughts?
