[CQ-Contest] SO2R in the SS

[RT Clay]

It is very easy to see who was doing alternating CQs on two bands if you look them up on the reversebeacon spot analysis tool. Because of the slow rate in SS everyone sends lots of CQs and there seem to be more reversebeacon hits than in other contests.

 I also noticed this on a couple
 of M stations.  Likely they had another radio w/op running
 while they scouted for Qs.  I erased a couple before they
 came back and had to scramble when they started their
 exchange.
 
 
 
 I didn’t dare try
 alternating CQs with that kind of exchange.  I can’t do
 it very well even with short exchanges on cw so hopefully no
 one had that problem with me.
 
 
 
 I still hate
 the cluster pileups where everyone is on the same frequency
 and it’s near impossible to pull one out.  Luckily there
 are a few who know to drop their call in again and off we
 go….

 This weekend I worked in the
 SS a few stations that I assumed were ronning
 SO2R.  They called CQ.  I answered - no
 reply.  I called again - no reply.
 Just as
 I was gong to move the VFO, they came back.  Signals were
 LOUD so I
 assume they were copying me just
 fine as I had been working stations mostly
 with just one call.
 
 I think it is kind of rude to assume if you are
 working someone on radio 1,
 stations should
 just sit and wait for you to finish and come back to
 whoever is calling you on radio 2. Especially
 with the long exchange in the
 SS and you are
 sending about 20 WPM.  73
