In a contest like Sprint, where most every CQ is answered, I think that

Band A:   CQCQCQ --listen-- CQCQCQ --response, etc.
Band B:   CQCQCQ --listen-- CQCQCQ ----------------

is just plain rude - chances are you will get two simultaneous responses, and
will have to ignore one.

A better (but now illegal) approach for Sprint would be:

Band A:    CQ NA CQ NA N2IC N2IC NA --response, etc.
Band B:    WN4KKN N2IC 123 Steve CO --end of QSO

If you got no response to your CQ, you could repeat the CQ on band A, and
hunt-and-pounce on band B simultaneously.

N2IC/0
