The single op category is only one operator and one transmitted signal at a 
time, regardless of how many radios, computers and amps that he has.  This 
is clearly a single op effort and not a multi. Try doing SO2R sometime 
before you criticize, it is not that easy. I certainly could have done 
better and had a more accurate log last weekend if I had a second operator 
running the second station. A good efficient operator using a good antenna 
system can still do quite well using only one radio.

What is wrong with this picture. Where do single-ops fit into this. I'm 
saying
those of us that do not have 3 radios, 3 antenna systems, 3 amps and all the
misc items needed to run "multi something". If you need to setup the 
software
for "multi something", then you need to send in your log as "multi 
something".

And you wonder why the non "multi something" place so low in single-op 
category.

Guess you all need to just keep patting each other on the back......don't 
think
about all of the real single-ops that gave you all those Q's and mults.
