Stop the music!
I think the posted comments are referring to two separate "rates."
One is "pure" S+P (no SO2R) rate.  The other is S+P rate on the 2nd radio while 
running
on the first.
Randy's comment about 87 in the first hours is for PURE S+P...NOT for S+P while 
SO2R running.
Is that phenomenal?  Depends....on other factors, some already mentioned.  
Maybe yes, 
maybe no.
In the ARRL CW test this year, I had a 73 hour while "pure" S+P...but I was QRP 
(on 20m).
The band was hot and everybody was "fresh meat."  Makes things a lot 
easier....as does
a great QTH.
Anyhow, my point is that contributors need to define which "S+P rate" they are 
referring to.
And if I am the only one who thinks that folks were discussing "two different" 
S+P rates, I 
apologize for this posting.
