[CQ-Contest] Consider This

[Ivo PEZER, 5B4ADA]

Unfortunatelly, our hoby of contesting is far from being equal to all
participants.
SO2R is just one of the latest developements that have caused many concerns.
But, maybe one can look at SO2R from other perspective. In my case, I've
upgraded to SO2R because I have no space for multiple towers and multiple
stacks. With SO2R I at least have better chance  to increase my score using
single yagi antennas on 46 ft roof mounted tower.

I would, however, trade SO2R for multiple tower/stack station with fully
automatic amplifier if that was possible... but what about SO2R's with
multiple tower/stack/amp etc. station....
It's never ending story, I guess.

73 and enjoy contesting.
