As pointed out in my other post, don't be misled into thinking the SO2R 
guys are just hunting for mults on the second radio -- in most cases, 
they're calling CQ on *both* radios at the same time, while carefully 
adhering to the "one transmitted signal" part of the rule. It's incredibly 
easy to do on RTTY. I don't know how anyone could make it work on SSB, but 
apparently a few do.
