Comments:

In yet another burst of insanity I decided to try SO2R in the sprint for the
first time. I ended up doing QRP because one of my filters is only working on
80 meters and even with 100 W I had too much hash on the other radio. It worked
out OK though I doubt I improved my score much if at all using 2 radios, but
it's good practice. I lost almost 20 minutes when I switched radios (K-3 from
20 to 40 to use the beam, 765 from 40 to 20) at the one hour mark, and it took
me that long to figure out why my K-3 was deaf on 40 meters. I had somehow
touched the rx ant switch while fiddling some of the other controls.

Radio 1- K-3
80: 2 el vertical
40: 2 el at 95 ft
20: 4 el at 100 ft

Radio 2- IC-765
80: inv-v at 50 ft
40: inv-v at 50 ft
20: C-19 at 55 ft

73 to all
