[RTTY] SO2R Question

[Jerry Flanders]

For lack of a better system, I just manually control the rigs. I have dual 
computers. monitors, and keyboards side by side, and can alternate pretty 
easily.

If I mis-time something, the one 14V 35A power supply serving two 25A rigs 
lets me know in a hurry if both rigs try to tx at once at full power - 
shuts down.

When the amps are on (not yesterday), a single 220V breaker service to the 
shack would trip if both amps drew at same time.

I suppose the honor system is the ultimate control, but don't forget that 
if someone actually cheated, it would be easy to monitor their 
transmissions and see it on the air.
