Listen to 21345.4 and 21237.1 at the same time. Falls under the "what is not specifically prohibited is allowed" rule ? And For those that missed it.... http://www.kkn.net/~n2ic/PJ4G.mp3 <http://www.
Jeff, Thanks for the comments. I agree with your interpretation of the rules, I don't like that it is allowed and like many have asked the ARRL to close this loophole. Many believe that if everyone a
It also helps to have very clean transmitters and amps with bullet-proof front ends. I'm lucky enough to have two towers 200 ft apart, one with a 3-el SteppIR, the other with monobanders for 20 and 1
As far as spectrum usage goes what is the difference between this and a single op CQing on two bands? KK9A Jeff, Thanks for the comments. I agree with your interpretation of the rules, I don't like t
Some bands are more limited in space than others. 40m - 75kHz 20m - 200kHz 15m - 250kHz 10m - 1.4MHz Some bands are more productive than others, depending on propagation. So with two CQs by one stati
Not necessarily since propagation varies widely within that space. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailma
Hmmmmmm What if you look at the spectrum as 1.8 - 30mhz. One station cq'ing on two frequencies is using twice the spectrum. Regardless of the 'band' you are on. Riiiight?? :) SO2R operators effective
Not the issue. SO2R wouldn't be on a second frequency if it were not producing contacts. SO2R operators have twice the spectrum use of SO1R. THAT is the advantage. Why do multi ops exists? To sit on
First, its clear that ARRL rules do not address the issue of two interleaving run stations on the same band. That leaves it up to the community to decide what to do. According to 3830 there were sixt

SO2R ops aren't using two freqs. They are CQing on one and answering stations on another freq already in use by someone else. Barry W2UP SO2R operators have twice the spectrum use of SO1R. THAT is th
I agree if all multis interleaved on the same band that the bands would be excessively crowded. It is already hard enough to find and hold a clear frequency, especially on SSB. However if the thousan
That's not using two frequencies?? A good SO2R is cqing on one freq and either dueling CQs on a second freq or working multi. If time right transmits and receives make this a finely choreographed dan
Not always. Single ops who are good will routinely dual CQ. This is not new news. 73 Rich NN3W Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@c
Marty W1MD Depends on the contest, where you are (USA vs. DX QTH), time-of-day, time-of-year, sunspot number, etc. At this point in the sunspot cycle, there are few opportunities to productively dual
They do Barry. They do it in contests where it is not prohibited with rules. You have probably missed this presentation by CT1BOH. http://www.qsl.net/ct1boh/2bsiq?cqc 73, Igor UA9CDC 14.03.2017 6:20,

For the record, I often SO2R on the same band. However I am not dual CQing on the same band. So - I am not "using more bandwidth" on the same band. I agree with KK9A that if 2 or more bands are wide

Using two frequencies was never a huge issue in CW contests. In those there are far more available channels, and you can always some open space if you dont mind CQing on 14.115. (Which with fewer big
So take a look at the top 30 or so single op scores just over the last three years of results in cqww cw and tell me there is not a major advantage to SO2R. Virtually all entrants are SO2R. Any way y
