Comments:

That was our 1st experience with M/2 at our modest setup build for SO2R. We
don't have any space for some sort of in-band antennas at our tiny one acre
property. But we have compensated that fact by using just two radios ))

The propagation was fantastic. EU pileups were endless 24/7. The first time at
our location we were running massive JA's pileups on 20, 15 and 10! Hundreds and
hundreds JA's were coming to our run frequency for a few hours at Saturday and
Sunday evenings.

We had a lot of fun, especially by using online scoring at
https://contestonlinescore.com/. Working in the contest with old friends from
our HAM radio youth at 80's was priceless! ))

Our working conditions:

2 x TS-590SG, Alpha 9500, Alpha 99
BPF's VA6AM (The best ever BPF sets)
Antenna switch box: Eight pack from Array Solution

Low band antennas:

160 21m Inverted L 21m high
80 19.5m T-vertical
40 2 phased verticals with DX-Engineering boxes


Tower 1:

40 2L Yagi (Delta 402) at 23m
20 2L Yagi LJ204) at 25m
15 4L Yagi fixed to EU at 21m

Tower 2: 

3L SteppIR at 11m

Tower 3:

10 4L Yagi at 13m

Thanks for all the Q's!

73!
