[Elecraft] Dueling CQ During Mixed Mode 10 Meter Contest

[Jeff Stai]

Sounds cool, and as noted is something we can do at least for RTTY, and
might work for other modes and mixed modes.

But given that you have to listen between CQs, that's a long time between
CQs in each mode:

CW-listen-phone-listen-CW-listen-phone...

I think you'd be better off just calling a tighter cycle in one mode at a
time, or using true SO2R with a second radio/antenna (if possible). Just my
opinion.

But that said... you would set up Writelog for two radios, and configure
the Ports menu as two K3s on the same control port. Then in the entry
windows L and R you can select the VFO and mode for each window.

At that point you may find that Writelog can handle the mixed mode, but if
it can't, you could diddle the mode between CQs (and hopefully don't mess
up...)

good luck and 73 - jeff wk6i
