[CQ-Contest] Basic SO2R ?

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

For several years, I ran SO2R with 1 KW to yagis on my tower and 100 
watts to an HF9V on the roof of my garage.  They were separated by some 
250 feet, and both receivers had RX protectors in the RX antenna line, 
but it worked OK.  Had to stay well away from harmonic frequencies, though.

Long years of experience at the under-100-w levels on Field Day suggest that it isn't enough to count on horizon vs. vertical polarization to reduce signal.  Filters provide easily 30 decibels of additional attenuation and are important to your results.
