G'day Bob:
Thanks for the comments! I disagree with you on the need for an operator in the
SO2R
station photos, though.
The purpose of the photos on this SO2R Resources site is to provide examples of
how other
people have arranged their equipment for SO2R operation. Unless arranged
carefully or
until operators are made transparent, they are going to block the view of at
least some
equipment, or (if off to the side) they are going to reduce the size of the
important
parts of the photo. I'd prefer to see what's on each of those boxes to seeing
the op, in
this application.
I'll use the best image of a station I can get, with or without human
representation!
73, Jeff K8ND
