[CQ-Contest] Sound Card DVP - DX Doubler

[Andrew Faber]

Pete,
   There's a commercial version of what you are describing built and sold by
W2IHY (Julius, who also works on audio gadgets for hams).  I bought one
recently and it seems to work quite well.  He's very easy to deal with (see
his stellar reviews on eHam).
  73, andy, ae6y
