Sadly, I think that the ratio of people doing SO2R well to the whole
group doing SO2R is pretty low. It's hard to do well.

During the recent ARRL DX CW contest the experience of someone obviously using
SO2R and trying to hold a frequency while going away for some other QSO reared
it's head on 40M.
Finding what seemed to be a clear frequency at 7003.5 after QRLing many times
with no answer only to have a station come back after 2-3 minutes starting to
call CQ. OK, so I can understand how this can happen even though we worked 2 or
3 stations before the US station returned. Should I leave the frequency? Maybe.
Then he disappears for another 2-3 minutes. We work some more DX. Then he
comes back calling CQ again. The time gone was just too long to expect a clear
frequency when returning.
I really can't remember what we finally did. I think we moved but it was
irritating for 15 minutes I am sure ruining both our rates. Next time we just
will have to see who wins.
