Use transfers after 2♣-2♥

2♠ = bal unlimited, resp bids as if opener has 23-24
2♣...3♥ = next suit. Resp fills transfer = go on at your own risk...
3♠ = 5S+4H
3NT = 5S+5H

etc...

Nuno, I think your transfer idea is horrible, because it makes the weak hand declarer. I think that this is a big minus if the HCPS are distributed around 22-4 and you play NT. The advantages are much smaller.

Partner opens 2♣, you bid 2♦ and partner bids 3♦. You bid 3♥, but this is a "second negative"

I think a 2nd negative is always a minor. So over 2M 3C is 2nd neg and over 3C= 3d is 2nd neg and over 3D there is no 2nd neg.

For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Agree that having weak hand declaring is a downside.

HOWEVER, I do believe that reaching the right contract is more rewarding than right-siding issues and, in my opinion, the transfer idea does help in reaching the right contract.

I think that mikeh got it right. 2NT looked suspicious without the heart AK, but the weak hand jumping to 5NT, grand slam force, how likely is that? I may be biased since I've never bid grand slam force in my life.

Really?

GSF comes up most often in 2C auctions. I've certainly had the IMPs auction

2C - 2S (natural positive)
5NT - 7S
