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
