I had little time on the weekend, but the time I did work, I found that to
be the rule.   I only have 6 and 2 meters, so I usually lost all contact 
when the stations changed to bands I couldn't monitor.  Has anyone ever
done a study on score numbers for working one station on each band that you
have versus working multiple stations on each band before moving on?

So key up instead of just listening!  I used to call CQ fairly often, but
the image started to form in mymind of other operators hearing me and
thinking 'It's just RQH again, no QSO points or new grid squares, so why
answer?'  I hope that's not the case.
