[TowerTalk] Building a "little pistol" contest station and theC-31XR

[Al Williams]

I had planned on using the C31XR with separate feedlines in a SO2R operation 
and then became concerned about how badly the close proximity of the 
elements would cause interference to the second rig and maybe even burn out 
the front end.

I have all band Dunestar filters but was concerned about if the filter was 
accidentally switched out during the frenzied contest.

EZNEC showed that the coupled signal could be quite strong on the adjacent 
elements?
