I disagree, if SO2R is an advantage, it's because the SO2R operator has worked
to develop the additional skills necessary to make it work.
I played with SO2R a few years ago, and I found out quickly that working it
effectively is *hard*. It takes a lot of practice and a lot of work to build
the skills to be a winner using SO2R. The guy using SO2R doesn't win
automatically, he may win because he's *learned how to make it work.*
I don't really have an opinion one way or another whether SO2R is a separate
category or not...I'll still run one radio and compete the best I can, which is
what I think everyone is doing. But I will say definitely that if I get beat,
you will not hear me complaining about how many radios the other op was running.
