[SCCC] CQWW SSB VK4UC M/M HP

[John Cashen]

>First off, our congratulations to all those fine scores from VK/ZL; 
>despite the terrible propagation we had on the high bands.
>
>Our effort had  four stations and five operators. There were only 
>two towers, although there were two beams on each. Rotational 
>control was a important management issue.  It helped that we were 
>all old friends!
>
>My station is a good SO2R (and perhaps a M2) setup which we then 
>cobbled-up (with a lot of coax switches) into this temporary MM 
>station (sort of!). The main thing is we had fun and now there will 
>be a meaningful VK MM score to go into the record books!
