[CQ-Contest] CQ WW High Rates

[Richard F DiDonna NN3W]

Not sure why this is seen as being so unique.  There is a group of hams 
that regularly works two radios on transmit.  I would often do this 
during events like WAE where one band was very runnable and a second 
band was opening.

I did not have the stamina to do this on two bands for 48 hours, but 
folks shouldn't be so shocked that it happens.
