[WIARC] K0CA SS Score

Mon, 4 Nov 2002 21:45:51 -0600

I am definitely in favor of another multi-op from my place.  Another
possibility, if we have a LOT of people that want to come, is TWO multi-ops
from there, as I think there are enough antennas to pull it off.

BTW, the interference between my two 930's this weekend was almost
non-existent.  I think we could easily put two stations on the air and get
along with few problems.

My learning curve for two-radio mode (both keyed by computer) was an
experience....

73, Jim
