[hpsdr] Alex - Do I need it

[Steven Wilson]

Why do you need Alex. 

Here is a practical demonstration.

I have the Mercury/Ozy system working as a receiver right now.  There
was a contest running this weekend - MAN were there a bunch of CW
signals out there.  You really see the benefits of a pan-adapter for
contesting in such a situation (and CW skimmer...)

I have an NVIS 40m dipole at around 10 feet in the air feeding the receiver.

Anyway, there was a local station  within roughly 2000 feet of my QTH
working the CW contest....and I heard clicking pretty constantly from
the station.  Uhm, did I mention they were on 20m while I was listening
in on 40m?? 

That sir is why you need Alex! ;-)
