He explained an SO2R operating practice in the sport of amateur radio contesting. In the contest some conpetitors use two transceivers attached to separate antennas with BPFs having sharp characteristics. Competitors can listen signals from two transceivers with a stereo headset and he can listen one amateur radio band while transmitting on another.
