[Elecraft] split operation et all

[GW0ETF]

For a step by step guide to this all you need is to read 'The Complete DXer'
by W9KNI..

You don't even have to buy it; just read the sample first chapter at
www.idiompress.com/books-complete-dxer.html. In English cricketing analogy
trying to work a split dx station without being able to hear the station in
the pile-up is like trying to hit the stumps from 25 yards blindfolded.

Stewart GW0ETF

(..and it's even easier when you use a K3 with 2nd receiver...)
