Agreed, nobody should be penalized for using a second radio to listen
while transmitting, whether on the same band or a different band or
all bands at once. Good for him.

But his score should be separated from those who use "conventional"
transceiver operation: When the TX is on, the RX is off and vice
versa.  To not separate the scores is akin to lumping all power
classes together and is inherently unfair for the same reason.
