Lessons Learned
On 40, the phone line picks up RFI and will not stay connected to the Internet
Most band combinations do not permit both stations to operate concurrently -- pretty much disabled the mult station. Need better grounds and more bandpass filters
We have enough signal almost everywhere -- pointing diversity would be nice to Eur and USA
Mult station needs a lot of punch -- it is hard to crack through the big pileups on spotted stations, like TA3DD just now -- I gave up.
Bring a lot of ferrites
Design an AC power system and get it installed with proper grounds and a lot of 220 and 110 outlets
Bring a 6 meter yagi
Bring FTP freeware
