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

[john at kk9a.com]

I agree if all multis interleaved on the same band that the bands would be excessively crowded. It is already hard enough to find and hold a clear frequency, especially on SSB.  However if the thousands of single ops also started running on two bands (2BSIQ) QRM would even be worse.  Where do you draw the line?

 

The four operators at PJ4G had a fantastic M/2 score. They even had 750 more QSOs than nearby M/M PJ2T with sixteen operators.

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.
