> This is a second tier contest that should be right up there with the big

> lots of mults and being at the March equinox. On the other hand, it is
> remarkably user-unfriendly with the 5 minute rule, the 3 hour off minimum,
> no
> low power category and conflict with the RUDX. Plus BARTG could drop the

> Usually I go light on this contest, but this time I had some station

> TS940S.
> Each signal is down about 3.6 dB, 3 dB due to the split and 0.6 dB from
