Fascinating, Hal. Without the 2nd
radio Qs (abt 237 by my count), your QSO total would have been about the same
as a bunch of us. Guess I better step up the modernization effort if I
expect to be competitive. Now, if I only had been born with three ears …

Subject: [SECC] 2nd radio Qs
There has been some discussion about scores and SO2R this
morning, as one might imagine. I worked the second radio here as hard as
I can, and the radios are set up about as good as they can be. The antennas
here leave some on the table, and I still need a little more practice, but here
is what the 2nd radio bought me. YMMV.
One radio was always CQ, the other was S&P 95% of the
time. Occasional dueling CQs were tried, typically without much success.
I try dueling CQs every contest and its not worth much.
