OK...
I did an experiment over the last 2 days...I created a 
mini-imaginary-sort-of-limited, SO2R event with 20-40-80 with Telenet 
helping me find mult's as well as switching back and forth looking.
Radio's:
2 identical Kenwood TS-480's
Aerials: Gap Titan DX & Cushcraft R6000 - Both 
verticals that radiate equally poor in all directions...
No fancy SO2R switching box. 
Observations:
You need much better band pass filters than the 
homebrew coaxial stubs I made up.
You need antenna's to be much farther apart than mine 
are.
You need to be very fast at logging, xmitting and 
receiving at the same time.
You definitely need an SO2R switching box.
You need to have a Type A, aggressive mean 
son-of-a-bxxxx personality.
You need an infinite attention span.
Don't answer the phone if it rings.
Don't get up to pee.
Don't fxxxx with SO2R anymore! I was the only guy in my 
contest and didn't win.
I'm definitely an SO1R guy now!
