Actually, I think MM in RU would help get more guys off of 20 meters to work
the other bands, so if anything 20M crowding would improve. I'm all for
anything that increases "other band" activity!

I would vote against MM in RU. Every year the bands, except 10 and 15 get, are
becoming packed with RU participants. That's good. However, this year there
were more stations operating above 14.120 than ever. There were signals up to
14.140. Also, I copied RTTY below 14. 070. In my opinion, adding MM ops to the
mix, would create a wall of QRM for those not in the contest. Forty meters is
bad enough for the CW ops.
Many MM stations allow single ops to man their stations for the weekend. That
is fine with me.
I wouldn't mind a separate class for SO2R. I use two radios and it is an
advantage over the SO1R. It takes a lot of practice and effort to do SO2R
correctly. It is a disadvantage at times, until you get the hang of it.
Nice job W6WRT! Bill, how can you work 241 stations on 15 meters?
Location...Location...Location??? My second radio was extremely quiet on 15. Of
course, the vertical wasn't the best antenna for the job. I did put the SteppIR
on 15 to work CX for a mult. I even called CQ on 15 with that antenna but
didn't get any run going.
I still can't believe W8AKS didn't hear me CQing on 80 and 40. Marty, did you S
and P?
Worked P49X last night on 160. There didn't seem to be many RTTY guys on.
