What a fantastic demonstration by N6MJ and also by CT1BOH! Both demonstrated a crazy skill. Both were in "Mult status" countries. Although Dan didn't really comment on the mult strategy. Applying the
I agree. It's extremely impressive. Was there a rule change that allowed this to happen this year, or did N6MJ and Ct1BOH come up with the idea? Can't wait to see if my brain can do it using a simula
No rule change was needed. As long as they transmitted no more than 1 signal at a time they were fine. What Dan and Jose did is game changing. SOAB will never be the same. Who sitting around a bar s
Running on two radios simultaneously has been done in previous years and there is at least one station in the Caribbean doing it in phone contests. John KK9A I agree. It's extremely impressive. Was t
TO7A did it for some years. Thing is, this type of operation requires a constant flow of stations on both bands. If you have to constantly be sending CQ TEST to keep up the rate, you rather focus on
Someone commented there was no audio on the ZF2MJ YouTube video. To hear audio of a MorseRunner run at 60wpm, click here for a sample from YT6W, a frequent HST competitor: https://m.youtube.com/watch
Thanks for the links, very interesting. Btw that is like another sport , to reach the execellence , to be a champion you need to practise every day like a football player does. Train hard very hard a
I don't think doing "dual CQs" on different bands is a very new concept. It just takes a tremendous amount of skill to pull it off. Another factor in this is that it takes a very short exchange (such

Having watched the N6MJ video (very impressive!) I have a couple of thoughts: Did he use a footswitch(s) to trigger an ESM command? Was there any sort of macro to trigger an ESM command on the opposi
There is no rule prohibiting duelling CQ, i.e. running on two bands simultaneously. This is OK with the rules as long as only one signal is transmitted at any time. I have checked this personally wit
Interesting ... I did this for NAQP and SSCW without even thinking of it as anything other than efficient SO2R (not that it mattered ....I was operating from VE7 and no technique short of remote xcvr
Duelling CQs seems to be a surprise only to those who haven't been paying attention. It's always been part of my lexicon that duelling CQs are just a part of SO2R. 73, kelly, ve4xt Sent from my iPhon
There is some terminology confusion. Dueling CQ's has been built into most contesting software for many years. You send a CQ on one band. When the CQ finishes, a CQ is automatically started on anothe
Hi Steve, Granted, however, if you have good antenna systems on both bands (and good propagation on both) and youre running dueling CQs, isnt a potential outcome of both CQs an answer to each, and th
Steve, Welcome! I still have a hard time of thinking of you as anything other than WB2IDP ;-) I've been thinking of converting to SO2R, but at our advanced age, not sure I can convince my brain to ha
About having two QSOs going at the same time, it requires a lot of processing in the beginning. After some hours, or after some tens of hours, you get to a level you notice some routines. Practicing

Hi Steve, I submit that's not the point of SO2R, it's merely the level of proficiency most users have settled into. These folks have simply evolved past that level. I was reacting to the suggestion,
Kelly: Agree with all with one additional factor. For most of us ....dueling pileups is just something that wouldn't cross our mind. The best operator out there ...operating from W6 or W4 ...just isn
"After some hours, or after some tens of hours, you get to a level you notice some routines. Practicing the routines so they go under your skin helps - gradually ... Dual running causes fatigue." For
