<div><font color="#0000ff">OK...</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">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.</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">Radio's:</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">2 identical Kenwood TS-480's</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">Aerials: Gap Titan DX & Cushcraft R6000 - Both
verticals that radiate equally poor in all directions...</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">No fancy SO2R switching box. </font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">Observations:</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">You need much better band pass filters than the
homebrew coaxial stubs I made up.</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">You need antenna's to be much farther apart than mine
are.</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">You need to be very fast at logging, xmitting and
receiving at the same time.</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">You definitely need an SO2R switching box.</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">You need to have a Type A, aggressive mean
son-of-a-bxxxx personality.</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">You need an infinite attention span.</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">Don't answer the phone if it rings.</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">Don't get up to pee.</font></div>
<div><font color="#0000ff">Don't fxxxx with SO2R anymore! I was the only guy in my
contest and didn't win.</font></div>
