Hi again Alex....I am not sure that I am correct on that. I would
suggest that someone research this carefully and report back to the
group. Since we are a Multi-op, that particular rule does not apply here.

Hi Marshall,
That's interesting. Thanks for pointing that out.
I do hope that there is a willingness by the software developers to
consider making changes for operating FT8 on the VHF bands. Signal
reports are mostly meaningless anyway IMHO.
Contest was good. I hope the same goes for you, too.

Hi Alex....I believe that it is now legal to have one signal on 6M
and another one on 2M. You just can't have two signals on the
same band.
I hope that you had a good contest....

I thought it was a lot better than in previous contests. Sure
there were some folks not using the contest mode, but I'm just
glad they are there at all and I'll switch modes and work them. I
can't get upset over it.
Now, there is something that can be done in the software. Have it
check if it's a VHF contest weekend and have it only operate in
contest mode on FT8 on the VHF bands on those weekends (or nights
for the sprints). :-) Or only have it only operate in contest
mode on VHF at all.
I too ran SO2R with FT8 on 6 on one rig, and with the other radio
on two meters looking for contacts, making sure I only had one tx
signal at any time.

As a Single Op, my observation is in line with Marshall's.
I ran an SO2R set up on 6 meters with one radio dedicated to
FT-8 on 50.313.
