Actually, I believe when this first occurred decades ago, there was no
rule against multiple transmitters in single op. The word "octopus" comes
to mind from long ago...

Hi Scott;
Was SO2R really "developed" from an existing tules set or did it simply
evolve via technology and rules interpretation? I can recall big time
SSers
W4KFC and W9IOP in the 50s operating what now would be called SO2R. The
technology was just different then.
Hats off to those that have the ability to use any legitimate technology
to
able them to compete at a higher level. I doubt I could do a effective
SO2R
thing, even if I had the system for it. But I sure admire those that can!
