[CQ-Contest] CQ WW High Rates

[Martin , LU5DX]

It depends on personal taste and the logging software and SO2R controller
you use.
WT is not prepared to do that with a single PC and keboard out of the box
(at least that's my own experience).
With N1MM / DXlog.net and probably other logging programs you can do it
pretty comfortably with just one PC/Keyboard.
You can use a keyboard like SteelSeries Apex 350 to map single keys to send
messages in the opposite radio as needed.
With WT there is no doubt two keyboards and two computers are needed to do
it efficiently.
I've found that using a single PC/keyboard is less fatiguing.  I've used
two pc and keyboards from 2008 through 2013.
This year I had to use WT on short notice, so no way I could run on two
frequencies that way (with a signle PC/keyboard) :-(
