[CQ-Contest] The Video

[Steve London]

It's a little hard to follow, so here's a second-by-second account of 
most of this...

00:05 - Finishing QSO with KS4YX on right radio. As soon as Dan tells 
KS4YX "TU" on right radio, he starts CQ on left radio.
00:08 - K1ZZI answers on right radio. Dan types in K1ZZI on right 
computer and sends his exchange. This automatically terminates the CQ on 
the left radio.
00:11 - N5YE answers on left radio. Dan types in N5YE on left computer 
and sends his exchange.
00:15 - K1ZZI sends his exchange, which Dan types in on right radio, 
while the left radio is continuing to send Dan's exchange to N5YE.
00:20 - N5YE sends his exchange which Dan types in on left computer. Dan 
tells K1ZZI "TU" on right radio.
00:22 - NC5O calls Dan on right radio, Dan types in NC5O on right 
computer and sends his exchange to NC5O. N5YE is continuing to send his 
exchange.
00:29 - N5YE finishes sending his exchange. Dan tells N5YE "TU" on left 
radio.
00:30 - NC5O sends his exchange which Dan types in on right computer.
00:33 - Dan tells NC5O "TU" on right radio.
00:37 - Dan starts a CQ on the left radio. K9AHH calls Dan on the right 
radio. Dan types in his call. When the CQ on the left radio ends, Dan 
sends his exchange to K9AHH.
00:41 - NN6CH calls Dan on the left radio. K9AHH sends his exchange to 
Dan, which Dan types on right radio. Dan tells K9AHH "TU" on right radio.
