It's my understanding that Rusty, W6OAT, was the inventor of the
strategy, long before I joined NCCC in 2006. Note that the rules also
require a different transmitter for each callsign.
I've done a lot more HMOs than those listed here, exchanging calls and
stations with N3ZZ, W6DRX, and N6RZ (SK), and also used N6IJ 2-3 times
as my second station, but I've never done more that two in any given
weekend. I've most often started at my own station, moved to the second
station early on Sunday morning. About a third of the time I was able to
sweep from both.
