[CQ-Contest] SO2R op's

[Tom Osborne]

It seems more and more op's are doing SO2R, which is good, but some of 
them are not doing it very well.

I noticed more than once during the CWO that someone would call CQ, I'd 
answer them and then about 30 seconds later they would come back to 
me.   Figure they are off on the other radio working someone and figure 
I'll just wait till they get back.  If you wait that long to come back 
to me and send the exchange, I'm not gonna answer you.

Also one station called CQ, I answered, and they never came back to me.  
I know they can hear me.  I called again and no answer. So I called a CQ 
on that frequency as I figured they had given it up, only to have them 
come back and blast a CQ right on top of me.

I think if you go to the other radio to work someone, that opens your 
run frequency to whoever snags it if you piddle around too long on the 
other radio..

Some guys work SO2R and you can never tell as they interleave the Q's so 
well.  Others - well not so good.  73
