I am planning to attempt SO2R in the upcoming CQWW SSB contest and am seeking advise from anyone
who has experience in operating SO2R.
I plan to use my beam on the main radio and a vertical on the 2nd radio, some advise I
read here a few days ago!
My 2nd radio wont have an amp and I plan to mainly use it to check propagation and
maybe the odd mult.
Can anyone offer any advise on the best way of using the 2nd radio to gain a better
score??

John,
VK6 is a very welcome call area into any competition.
To gain from the 2nd radio is no magic.
It seems you have the right idea about it already.
The expectation level is correct. Check if some band has any activity/signals or if possible, get some QSOs on the 2nd radio.
But you need to operate somewhat with the 2 radio setup so you will become familiar with all the knobs you really need.
The only thing I think you need is to have some hours using the 2nd radio while you listen around or work some QSOs on the 'main' radio.
Then improve.
All the best and hear you in the contest,
Jukka OH6LI
