Actually the LP layer (100-150W) is where the greatest number of stations
specifically engineered for SO2R seems to be.

I wouldn't bet on that, getting a good SO2R station running represents
a lot of work and expense. Adding an amp is a no-brainer in comparison
on both counts. The purpose of a 2R lashup is to have a run rig and a
mult rig instantly available. Since it's difficult to keep those
200-300/hr runs going with a 100W signal all the SO2R ops I know around
here use amps. Analyzing the published scores should answer the
question.

Surprising on the surface, but
makes a lot of sense when you consider the issue of self-induced noise.

Ya got me: What's "self-induced noise"?=20
