Comments:

First time going single op 2 Radio / 2 Computer. Wintest works like a champ
in
this mode, never a network issue. A K6AM designed, W2IJ built, interlock box
made sure that I only had one signal on the band(s) at once. Duel CQing for
JA's Sunday morning on 40/20m was fun.

Home built coaxial stubs on each antenna line at the tower mounted AS
Sixpack
relay box helped keep power down on the C31XR feed lines. No heard
reduction in
wideband phase noise though. W3NQN's on each K3. Next step may be a high
power
antenna combiner from 4O3A and his high power band pass filters for each
antenna line.

Great propagation and lots of participation made this a hard contest to
leave
Sunday morning to be with the family for a BBQ.

Operating equipment:

Elecraft K3
Acom 2000A

Elecraft K3
Alpha 78

LM354HD 54' Tower
