Comments:

For the fourth consecutive time, a major contest falls in a holidays period.
Fortunately the Aid El Fitr was announced to be on Thursday - according to the
lunar year. I had enough time to visit relatives and eat the special food made
for the event, hi!

I left to Tunis on Friday morning trying to have as much time as I can for the
setup. SO2R testing was the primary goal of this contest participation. Using
it for the first time ever from a Tunisian station and by a Tunisian operator
was my personal dream and challenge for many years!
I pluged all connections to the SO2R device and made the first tests... all
works perfectly.

SO2R device by Array Solutions was slightly modified (by someone) that get rid
of the control box and allowed control bottons to be on the front side of the
I/O box.
CW signals were generated by a single CW interface (the only one I have). 
As no LPT connection is available on my laptop, radio selection is made 
manually.
 
WAEDC CW is a perfect contest for someone who wishes to try SO2R. The activity
is not as high as a CQWW contest. Moreover, the QTC sending time on one radio
is a perfect time to listen to the second radio. 
I would suggest to WinTest author to consider changing the QTC Window to be
similar to the other Wintest Windows allowing Second radio QSO logging to be
possible while sending QTCs.
Otherwise, Wintest remains my prefered logging software that I would recommend
to anybody interested in contesting.
3V8BB was equiped with one antenna switcher; one antenna coax have always to be
disconnected from the switching device and connected to the second radio
depending on bands propagation.
In total, 22 QSOs on the second radio were made including some 'excellent and
quick multiplier moves'. SO2R gave me a great flexibility arranging for QSYs
and checking openings... It brought my contesting pleasure to another
excitement level! 

Thanks to all for the Qs and look forward to cu agn on the air!
