Decided that the lower-4 bands were killing my entire VHF contesting
experience. Whole thing is up for sale.
50MHz: Kenwood TS-930S #1 + SSB Electronics LT6S + 600w amp + 7el Yagi (will
toss in the spare DEMI transverter, 300w backup PA and 50MHz Stackmatch
along with a couple HyGain 66DX yagis)
[Worked DXCC, 6m WAZ, WAC with this setup]
144MHz: Kenwood TS-930S #2 + DEMI Transverter + 500w amp + 16LBX (will throw
in the parts for the EME array I was planning to install for the cost of the
parts - no reason to continue with that. Someone else will just beat me.)
[Worked 40 states, 200+ grids, 2300km dx with this stuff]
222MHz: Kenwood TS-930S #2 + DEMI Transverter + 400w amp + FO16
[Hold one end of the 2nd longest Tropo/C QSO with this junk]
432MHz: Kenwood TS-930S #2 + DEMI Transverter + 400w amp + FO25
[Have worked 35 states, 120 grids, 1950km DX with this crap]
As it's causing me so much pain to operate it, it must go. I can't win a
contest with these silly bands, nor can I ever hope to compete against
others in my division. So give it up I must.
Mark, K2AXX
(PS - the stuff is really NOT for sale. I just like the irony of the whole
thing!)
