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

>>> I am sure many other SO2R operators feel the same as I do.
I am happy to accept that ED but there a great number of ops who are not so skilled, not necessarily dual in band but SO2R in general who either put their cq calls on repeat, or come blasting back without a care, those traits are selfishness particularly so in major events where we are competing for space. Those guys should learn that when the other radio qso has taken a long time , like when needing fills, which happens to all of us, they should act big when finding another user on their run qrg and move on as you do yourself.

But I defy you to know when I am on radio 2 by listening to my run frequency.  I can answer a CQ response and interleave a second radio 2 Q and you would not know the difference.  The magic of doing that is “the art”.  And when I can’t do it, I don’t call the Radio 2 Q.  The only time I would be “coming back to my frequency” and hoping to get back on is if I took a bio break. And if I lost it, I lost it.  I am sure many other SO2R operators feel the same as I do.  73  Ed  N1UR  From: brian coyne [mailto:g4odv at yahoo.co.uk]

That is debatable ED and is only really true where an op returning to the first radio following a cq,call,or contact,on the second radio  cedes that first frequency when finding another stn has moved in. How many do that without starting a frequency fight? - I don't come across many.  73  Brian 5B4AIZ.  From: Ed Sawyer <sawyered at earthlink.net>

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] PJ4G ARRL DX SSB Recording by N2IC  For the record, I often SO2R on the same band.  However I am not dual CQingon the same band.  So - I am not "using more bandwidth" on the same band.      I agree with KK9A that if 2 or more bands are wide open, dual CQing on 2bands is no different use of space than dual CQing on one band.  But in thebottom half of the sunspot cycle, there is a difference because for goodchunks of time, there might be only one optimum band for a circuit (ie - NAto EU).  I think ARRL should make it against the rules like CQ has.
