Hi Trevor,
Well, I'm far away of being a big gun. But sometimes I have
the chance to operate from our club station - and then
running SO2R. This helps a lot!
I guess all top ten stations do that - did you?

@Ed.. while checking this with the rules.. I think there
is missing a word in the html code..
A
.."band, only signal is allowed at"..
