[CQ-Contest] Thoughts on automatic low-power bandpass filters

[Steve Lott]

K1TTT has info in his building a contest super station manual and probably
his blog as well on ice 419b. Upgrades

Scott. I’m currently using the band passer units
One caution limit your power thru then to 125 Watts or less or you will pop
the capacitors

At my new Qth. I’m using two separate rev antennas
One on each rig with rcvr guards
My rcv antennas are over a thousand feet apart
