[LCC] short handed multi-2 strategy ?

[Scott Dickson, W5WZ]

Well, that looks like a good strategy.  I would love to come, BUT

1.	I have to officiate at a wedding on the afternoon of the 19th
2.	My kids are in a talent show the night of the 19th
3.	I am only good for about 20 wpm on CW, and often have to hear a call
2 or 3 times to get it.  So I would count for minus 1!  :-)

 

How will you manage the only 2 XMIT requirements??  Hardware or software
lockouts?

As ARRL CW approacheth, i was thinking............  ( uh oh... )

 

W5WMU normal set up is 2 rigs. either rig can pick any antenna.

 

works great, actually...

 

except...we want to do better...of course

 

why not set up 3 stations. listen / cq on the 3 best bands, (only

2 transmitters at a time, of course). the lower rate

transmitter could change bands more often. hopefully, more Q's, mults...

 

eg  rig 1: 160 / 20               rig 2: 80 / 15            rig 3: 40 / 10

 

4th guy resting. rotate positions every X hours...

 

suggestions? criticism? another strategy more effective ?

 

Pat says 'WHAT 4th guy?'......, Victor says 'count me for 2'...i tell victor

"i DID, count me for 1/2...." ha ha ha ha....

 

73, W5XZ, Dan
