Well, just learned something from your video, Rich. And if I would have thought about it, makes a whole lot of sense. That is, when CR6K is operating on two bands (40 and 80) as he's doing in this video, he's NOT listening to his own transmissions. That allows him to be listening to the other radio while he's sending, and it all seems as if it's just one big pileup.
BTW, if you listen/watch the video at about 30:30, you'll hear K2PS calling and working him! I couldn't resist the urge to check my logs to see if I made it in, and sure enough I did.
73, Pete, K2PS

CR6K is one of those ops. Check out his YouTube video 2BSIQ (two band interleaved QSOs). Unbelievable.
