Hello Gilmer:
Refer to N6TR message. You'll see you don't need big bucks. You can take
advantage of this technique by using inexpensive transceivers and/or
receivers.
Consider you have an average contest station: let's say you invested US$
15,000. You can enjoy SO2R with a little extra US$ 600-1000 = 4% to 6,66%.
