[Elecraft] SO2R

[David Cutter]

Single Operator 2 Radios.  In some contests the rules allow 2 radios to be 
used by one operator.  This enables the contester to listen to 2 bands at 
once which is useful when one band is a bit slow and all you are doing is 
sending CQ.  You can then be monitoring another band, perhaps a particular 
hard-to-get station, for an opportunity to jump in and catch another 
multiplier you would not otherwise be able to get.  It's not just 2 radios, 
you need binaural headphones and possibly fast switching antennas and there 
are all kinds of special gizmos around to help a complex set up, not to 
mention the logging programmes.  It enables you to gain a few extra % that 
could win you the contest.
