This station is fully setup for Multi 2; Multi single and single op SO2R
For this contest I used SO2R for the first time. (Micro Keyer 2R+)
All the switching is fully automated by N1MM software.
I started in beginning successfully with SO2R but then I realize that is was
kind of confusing and the Micro Keyer gave a lot of bugs, so I went to the old
fashion way 2 radioâ??s and manual controlled switching, I also had to use 2
computers for logging this was a lot of work and a lot of wasted time.
I think my station works absolutely fabulous special on 160, 80 and 40 meters.
I may never challenge any body on the high bands but on the low band I hope I
will have some competion in the future (from the USA)
I am glad that there are still a lot of SO2R operators and friend who give me a
lot of drive for future contest, thanks to everybody and see you in the next
one.
Krassy,
K1LZ
