[RTTY] SO2R, small lot?

[Jerry Flanders]

I recommend you actually measure the RF voltage coming back on the 
"other" coax.

A few years ago I jerry-rigged a RF probe for my DVM and made some 
measurements. I wanted to make sure RF voltages were below likely 
damaging levels in a typical device.

I found my worst-case scenario with stubs was only around 300 
millivolts. Comforting.

The measurements were not hard to do.  I wrote this all up but wasn't 
able to find it for you in a google search a minute ago. It may be in 
the archives of this list.

As a strictly WAG, I would think you will find minimal or no problems 
if you use stubs and 100 w with even a modest separation. The 
polarization difference helps you.
