[SECC] RTTY Sprint

[W4OC at aol.com]

Jerry / all,
 
With SO2R, you can call CQ on your other radio 
while receiving the exchange from the station on
the active QSO radio. Then at the end of the exchange,
send your QSL message. The SO2R ops call this a 
free CQ, since you are using time transmit that would 
otherwise be lost. 
 
Another way to envision the sprint is that you are alternately
running (after CQ or completed QSO from answering another
station) and S&P (answering another station's CQ or calling
after completed QSO). 
 
With two radios you can alternate CQing on two bands 
- just not on both at the same time, as in any contest 
as a single op.
 
The NCCC has a RTTY NS every Thursday night for 30 minutes:
