Not hardly. Take a look at my claimed score on 3830 before you say that!

Seriously, the ability to do SO2V in RTTY depends mainly on two things: 
hardware (a radio with two receivers capable of receiving simultaneously 
on different parts of the band or on different bands); and software (two 
separate windows, one for each receiver, each showing the last 40 
seconds, say, of text received - a right-click with the mouse in either 
of the windows sends your call sign on that window's frequency).

If you want to see how a good operator uses SO2V, listen to some of the 
recordings on N1EU's web site. He does SO2V in CW and SSB and can keep 
up QSO rates of 150 QSOs/hour while S&Ping. That's way out of my league.

Yes, so do I - but on the other hand I'm having a lot more fun now in 
retirement than I was having before I retired!
