MY  .02
 
   Living in the umbrella of the FRC.  With first a two meter call out system, then the Packet Cluster, now the avalanche of information fed to you, as an operator you have decisions to make.
 
S02R's are always scouring the other bands for contacts ( some can on the same band) and when a  you run across a juicy  Mulp, With a Big pile up  or unruly pile up, your not getting through in one or two calls dose not always happen.
 
As a operator you have a decision to make. spend the time to work the guy, chancing the fact you my loose your run frequency or  pay focused on you run freq. and switch you listening frequency  now and again to the Mulp 
 
 Then how long is  LONG enough  two  "  Ditty  Dum Dum Ditty's  two  QRL's ?  I have stacks on all bands 4 sq's on low band and listening arrays and after  two or three ? ? ?...  or three QRL's is this frequency in use .  This is a open 
 
FREQUENCY IMHO ,   and Yes.. when  I chase  or am  focused on  a Mulp  and away from my run Frequency ( single radio dual VFO )   and when I switched back to my  A VFO  audio   wow   K5$% was now calling CQ..... My bad I move 
 
 I  lost my  RUN frequency.    but when I am set up for SO2R and  have  AB split in RE/LE  I'll defend my run Frequency when I hear a  ditty dum dum ditty   and if I don't that's  my fault.
