Hi all,

We are thinking about running a 2 station setup for CQWW SSB.

We currently have no experience of this and was looking for pointer on a 
cheap and easy filtering option (I their is such a thing!).

We are looking to run lets say 20m - 10m on one setup (HFstation) and 
40m - 160m on the other setup (LF Station).

Antenna's will have a separation of about 100m, we are going to run a 
vertical and dipole setup for 40m - 160m on the second station tower and 
a 10 - 20m beam (Spider) and a 2 element Moxon for 40m on the main tower 
(I guess the 40m beam will be used on the 10 - 20 m station and not the 
LF station)

Both will run 400w.

Radios will be

HF station 756PROII -  TL922 In Caravan
LF Station with be Either FT990 or TS870 - 811H (with 572B tubes) In Awning

We cannot afford luxuries like the Dunestar filter setup at this point.

Any ideas guy's, Would we suffer much breakthrough etc, is it even worth 
attempting?

Thanks

Jim M0CKE
