[CQ-Contest] SO2R in the SS

[Joe]

Cluster Pileup,
Even when I ran as one of the W1AW portable stations, I did not remember 
the frequency ( pun intended ) of click and pounce Op's.  But in SS this 
weekend was my first real experience with it.

Wow exact zero beat with eachother, what a mess just one 5 seconds or so 
of a solid tone.  I fully understand why now some DX ops can't deal with 
the pileups.
