[CQ-Contest] PJ4G ARRL DX SSB Recording by N2IC

[donovanf at starpower.net]

First, its clear that ARRL rules do not address the issue of two 
interleaving run stations on the same band. That leaves it up to 
the community to decide what to do. 


According to 3830 there were sixty multi-op entries in the ARRL 
SSB DX Contest. What happens to this contest if all sixty of us 
start using interleaved two run stations on 20 meters? 


on 15 meters? 


Even worse: on 40 meters? 


Do we all want to follow PJ4G's lead?

Some bands are more limited in space than others. 
40m - 75kHz 
20m - 200kHz 
15m - 250kHz 
10m - 1.4MHz 

Some bands are more productive than others, depending on propagation. 

So with two CQs by one station on the same band the station engaging in 
this practice takes up twice the space and denies others the use of the 
productive or limited space band. 

CQing on two bands is different because the other band may not be as 
productive, and even underused in low solar years.
