Great Fun! Propagation was good enough to maintain action on 20 meter. 15 meter
provided both contacts and multipliers and even 10 meter came to life on Sunday
with some DX including multipliers from zone 43 and 44. Low bands were in good
shape and 40 meter was strong overnight with some NA stations peaking 20-30 dB
over S9. 

Decided to play with technology and therefore entered in SO Unlimited. Wired up
the station for semi-SO2R using the SunSDR2 PRO SDR transceiver as radio 1 and a
ColibriNANO SDR receiver as radio 2. Used the clever SDC utility from Yuri UT4LW
to skim both receivers for spots and then combine these local spots with skimmer
spots from our offsite skimmer. 

As radio 2 couldn't transmit ALT-F5 in N1MM was used to swap radios to be able
to transmit on Radio 2's frequency. Not the most elegant solution, but the
second radio was helpful when sweeping other bands for multipliers.

I am quite happy with the results. The all-SDR setup worked very well but also
spiked ideas for how to improve the ergonomic layout of the station when
replacing K3s with SDR radios.
