[RTTY] AA5AU Contest Notes now multi computer n1mm SO#R

[Michael Haack]

John,
I don't recall anyone claiming running SO2R is Easy.
However, The insistence that SO1R and So2R are on a level playing field 
is inaccurate.
If there was no competitive advantage you wouldn't run it.

As has been pointed out, the answer lies with the contest sponsors who 
need to adjust the categories.
Possibly using both SO1R and SOMR - Single Operator Multiple Radio classes.
