[WT-support] ALT-J Status Box Questions

[Tim Duffy K3LR]

Thanks Larry,

We call our SUPPORT station on each band a MUL station. We use SUPPORT for computers
that are not hooked to radios.
We have two stations per band (many Multi Multi stations have two per band).
The stations on each band (RUN and MUL) are interlocked so that only one can transmit
at a time.
As per the CQ rules, only one station may call CQ (RUN) as well.

Thanks for your help making WT better and better!
73,
Tim K3LR
