[CQ-Contest] Listen to something "interesting"

I've done it and not that hard. I run low power and have two towers basically on n-s line.
During rtty contest at sunspot minimum only 20 was open, so called Cq towards 
US up the band and Cq EU low in the band. If I remember I didn't really get answered
on either freq. so went and did something else after an hour or so.  It was easier than 
flipping antennas for alternate CQs on a single frequency.  

The antenna isolation was pretty good.  High power of course takes more care. 

I would have no trouble with this practice being prohibited. I did it because i needed something 
to try during a slow contest.
