Comments:

Multi-2 sounds like a big deal, but this was basically a tribander at 48', with
a shorty forty at 55', pointed in the same direction.  The antenna for 80/160
was a half-sloper with a relay to switch in more wire for 160.  This is all on
a 80' x 100' city lot.

W6RW and I originally planned to just split the operating time on one radio in
order to save wear and tear on the operators, like we did in ARRL DX CW. 
However, in the CQWW, multi-op provides the ability to use multiple
transmitters at the same time, so we decided to go down that path.  CQWW
multi-single has some arcane limitations, so we decided, with advice from our
friend K8IA, to go Multi-2, which allows much flexibility on use of the two
transmitters.

Anyway, two transmitters were cobbled together into a computer network, 240V
service to the shack was expanded to 40 amps, and off we went.  There were some
limitations having the 40 through 10 antennas all pointed in the same direction,
but I think we did the best we could with what we had.

Conditions were pretty poor, but there was enough activity to keep it
interesting, and we did have fun.
