Comments:
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. In the
June 2018 ARRL VHF, N3UM operated SOLP.
On-air time was short due to long tweaks and tests Sat. of 903
and 1296 MHz gear. New MMIC driver amps boosted TX PA output
to 20W/30W from 7/11 W on 903/1296 MHz. BUT, most problems are
caused by solutions; new power fried T-R relays rated at 10 W!
OK, get on 2 and 0.7m, say hello to old VHF buddies, and hand
out a few QSOs. Few sigs. Sat. PM, then 6m. E skip loud for
hours to W9/W0 Sun. So I loaded up a 40m. dipole on 7th harmonic
and made 8 skip Qs to EN and EM.
New 1 GHZ T-R relays spec’d at 100+ W are ordered.
I plan to be on for 3 Aug. 222 MHz+ Distance challenge.
