Thanks for sharing Michael. Will be interesting to see how it goes during
the contest.
Dear Contesters: Just to be clear, my original email said that a single op
could use a skimmer WITHIN THEIR OWN STATION. Using one connected via the
Internet requires entry in the assisted or multi-op categories.
Good luck to everyone in WPX CW this weekend. Let's hope for some good
conditions.
Randy, K5ZD
