[CQ-Contest] Time saver

[Tom Osborne]

Hi Doug

This happens more and more with SO2R op's.

You answer their CQ while they are working someone else on the other radio.


Then just as you call them again, they come back to you.  I see that more
and more now with op's that are doing SO2R and are not very good at it.  73
