[CQ-Contest] SO2R questions

[Jim George]

Dave, what I was trying to describe is that I call CQ in the Sprint (only 
the Sprint) with "F7" inactive-band radio CQs and use the "active band" 
radio to find stations signing so I can call them in the S&P position of TR 
to begin a two-QSO couplet. The F7 CQs are a "filler" taking up time while 
I search for someone to call. That way I get the best of all worlds; I am 
calling CQs and also am seeking a station to call to begin a two QSO 
couplet. It's more efficient. That's what I was trying to explain. This 
entire procedure is valid only for the Sprint since one cannot remain on a 
CQ frequency after one QSO.

Otherwise, in all other contests, I would be calling CQ and running 
stations on the active-band radio on a run frequency and using the 
inactive-band radio to locate stations on another band to call with the 
"ALT D" feature in S&P mode.

All this is "TR-Log Speak."
