[RTTY] SO2R

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Ops have been using multiple radios for as long as I have been a contester
since 1978.  The only change is that the technology has improved and there
are a number of devices that make it very easy to do.

If you want a 2nd category then talk to the contest sponsors.  No change is
coming from this reflector.

In other words... More than one operator, multi op. More than one radio,
multi radio.

If you want to look for mults on the second receiver of that ONE radio,
fine. You have to change bands to work the mult. That too is fine.


Simple.
