Hi Jay...
That's ridiculous...
The truth is that MM can be a lot of fun, even if you've never done
it before. No, you won't win, and maybe that's why folks said it was
unwise, but 2 or 3 guys can have a lot of fun messing around and run
up a big (though not winning) score in the process.
But you're probably not going to win a lot of contests from VY1
anyway, so I say go for it and have fun!
The main thing to consider is inter-station interference. You want
the separate bands to be able to work at the same time with a minimum
of interference from each other. That means separating antennas as
much as possible, bandpass filters, etc. A lot goes into building an
effective MM station, but you can always start small and work up.
GL!
