“SO2R Operation was never as easy and enjoyable as it was in this year\u2019s WW CW.
\nAfter manually switching antennas between filters and radios for almost each
\nband change during WW SSB, Filipe CT1ILT was very kind helping with a 6×2
\nantenna switching system (See ct1ilt.com\/switches). The system, wired and boxed
\nby Ahmed 3V\/KG5OUE one week before the contest, worked perfectly and flawlessly.
\nWe did a mistake by using a plastic enclosure, but then an Aluminium cover
\nconnected to ground completely killed any cross radios interference.<\/p>\n

We gathered in Nov 19th weekend to also do some further preparations in 3V8SS
\nstation; myself and Ali 3V\/F4HJD replaced the balun of the inv-V for 80\/160 and
\nbrought it a bit higher (it wasn\u2019t very bad that we didn\u2019t split it in two
\ninv-V\u2019s although that would enable more flexibility). We also put up a K9AY
\nwhich I think worked well especially on 40 and 80. The 7300 doesn\u2019t have an
\nRX antenna jack, I had to manually switch. The K9AY coax took the 6th input to
\nthe 6×2 close to the 80\/160 connector.<\/p>\n

I was lazy to re-configure DXLog to work with both radios and the SO2R box
\n(Used for audio switching) and that was a big mistake. Copying calls from R1
\nand R2 on each ear was didn\u2019t allow dual CQing to be very efficient. By the
\nend of the contest, I was focusing on one radio only. I was so tired to handle
\nthe interference from using TS-450S 500Hz CW filter.<\/p>\n

I used two Wintest copies installed in two networked computers. The SO2R Box
\nwas connected to R1 Computer. It wasn\u2019t possible to modify scenarios to allow
\nfor the Dual CQing required audio switching.<\/p>\n

I did non-stop 48 hours operation this time. By 15h00z Sunday hallucinations
\nstarted and I had to explain to myself from time to time that I\u2019m in a radio
\ngame and these station are calling me to be in my log NOT to loan money from me
\nor to come to my house, hi!<\/p>\n

Conditions on Sunday were better than in Saturday. 10m was closed all the
\nweekend, only 4 QSOs were made.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very satisfied with the contest results although multipliers count still
\nbelow the required. Thanks to everyone in my log! See you inshallah in WW 160
\nCW!<\/p>\n
