Comments:

Actual score was 152,932, plus the bonus for working W5YL, giving a total of
153,032.

Usually, I do most contests as a single op, two radio. However, Bobby, WM5H and
I have had good success working together, so the thought was to just do a multi.
I have a recent new-found interest in RTTY and the 2nd most popular rtty contest
was happening the same weekend. What to do?

With a fully functional IC-761 in the left operator position, I simply split
the rig control and input for the six-pack antenna switcher, and Bobby had full
rig control and access to all antenna for the LAQP. Mean while, I used one of
the Pro-II's on the other six-pack input and ran the CQ WPX RTTY. Bobby had use
of the auto-band switching 600 watt solid state amp, which was great since it
was out of his reach. Mean-while I had his KW 922, running about 1KW. Thanks to
ICE-419 band pass filters and mono-band antenna, we never had any inter-station
interference, even though sometimes we selected antenna that were less than 5
feet apart.

This was the first time I had ever run two totally separate contests
simultaneously from my station, and we had a blast. 

Many thanks to the Thibodaux Amateur Radio Club, W5YL, for sponsoring the LAQP.
