If I am running 99 percent of the time and you, that elusive WM5 new
mult, are also running 99 percent of the time how can I work you?
If I hear you on my second radio on a slow sunday afternoon am I going
to spend 2 band changes just to work you? Unlikely.
The result? One less qso and multiplier for me, one less qso (and
possibly one less multiplier for you) and *LESS FUN* for both.
Either you will use a second VFO to find WM5R, or more likely use packet
info to find him at a time you both are on the same band;
Or you might drop that 99% running number to 95% and tune the bands a bit.
If you do, your old CQ frequency becomes available for someone else to
use, which makes it a lot MORE FUN for someone else;
Or you don't work WM5R but get some other DR2 to call in to keep your
multiplier total up.
I like the California QSO Party rules for multi-single: one operator at a
time doing anything a SO2R single op might do. Unfortunately adherence to
this rule is not easy to verify solely from the logs.
