You're saying that as if it were proven fact. Can you give some
evidence? My *opinion* is just the opposite. Even out here on the
west coast, I can hear nearly every station on, using a four element
quad at 80 feet. I doubt that stacked antennas or multiple antenna
systems would gain much (pun intended). On the other hand, being able
to look for mults on a second band while transmitting could be quite
productive.
In a 48 hour contest, an SO1R station can listen about 24 hours total,
and only on one band at a time. An SO2R station can listen the whole
48 hours, on multiple bands if desired. This has got to be a serious
advantage, else why would anyone bother?
