[CQ-Contest] SO2R-SO1R from The Yukon??

[Tom Osborne]

I find the best use for the second radio is to keep the band map open, and 
when I see spots start to fill up, it is time to move to that band.  I had 
the second radio set on 10 meters and saw a few spots start to filter in and 
went there and picked up 4 countries in about 10 minutes, then it went away 
again.

I did the same thing on 15 when operating on 20.  When I would see a bunch 
of green mults, I'd go to 15 and start picking them up.

'Course, I do mostly S&P here now.  73
