In the video, Dan is running on both 15 and 20 meters.  You can 
not hear his transmitted sidetone.  It is like alternating cq's 
on each band, with lots of guys coming back, and tail-enders 
waiting on both bands.  He never touches the VFO dial, so there 
is no S&P going on.

The video
http://www.n6win.com/videos/N6MJ_SO2R_CW@N6WIN.mp4

I have been contesting for 38 years now. I started off with 
separate
rigs, crystal controlled, and a big ol'e knife switch to go 
between
transmit and receive.

I was amazed when I got a foot operated Dow key to go between 
Transmit
and receive.

Then when I got a actual "Transceiver" a Drake TR-4 I was in 
Heaven.

Next was a hallicrafters TO- Keyer, Till then it was all straight 
key.
Wow this modern technology is incredible!

Next was a MFJ Grand master keyer! Wow! I press a button to send 
stuff! OMG!

Next is my first computer logging, till then it was allpaper nd 
pencils
for logging and duping. Ya get the feeling pretty soon this 
contesting
will be automatic start it up and come back when it's over and 
see how
ya did.

Anyway I am extremely green as to SO2R  I understand it is Single
operator and 2 receivers,

But like in that video, someone can yo please exactly explain to 
me what
is happening?
don't bother telling me whats with the phone. that is a whole 
different
story.

But qso to qso whats happening.
