[v7arcssbnet] [V7ARC] Split operation test on Saturday 5/21.

[Steve Schaarschmidt]

...and, if you're using a still-older rig,
where the transmitter and receiver
are in separate cabinets, well, then,
it might be even easier!

But, then, of course, you might feel the need
to listen on your transmit frequency,...

73 and hearya on Saturday,
