Don Ross, AC5D (ex NL7CO) has an Icom 7610 HF/6m radio he is looking to sell and can bring it to the Central States VHF Society conference this weekend if anyone is interested in it. It is Icom's lat
Caught a few nice Es openings last week in the contest. On Saturday worked Florida at 2007Z and several California stations between 2106 and 2306. Biggest surprise was a single decode on FT8from KP4A
Most other multimode contests like the ARRL 10 meter contest, the IARU contest, and most state QSO parties allow you to work the same station on both CW and SSB. Field Day allows for contacts with th
Hi Wayne (and list members), Thanks for letting us know about this. What can we do to stop it? 73 John W5TD _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@co
I don't think 900mhz will be of much interest to cellular companies as there is too many other users in that band right now, as it is a ISM band. Too much RF pollution as it currently is, and too man
I had a short 6 meter Es opening to Arizona last Saturday night and made a few FT8 contest QSOs. I never thought to check FT4. Was there much FT4 activity in the contest? I know that it is supposed t
Most of the reviews I have seen for the Arrow Antenna dualband yagis are regarding their use on the satellites, which I think is what they are mainly made for. Has anyone on the list used one of thei
Thanks for all of the comments on the Arrow Antenna dualband Yagi. It sounds like they might not be the best choice for permanent mounting due to rust and vibration of the elements. Those are good th
I am looking for a 2 meter receiving converter that uses an HF IF frequency. Want to use it with my Kenwood TS590SG to receive the satellite downlink frequencies for Mode B satellites. If you have on
Here is a chance to add another band to your VHF contesting efforts! I have for sale one of the Ukrainian 10m to 2 meter transverter that I have been using as a receive converter on the satellites. W
I have for sale a Kenwood TR851A 70cm all mode radio which covers 430-440mhz, which is the weak signal and satellite portion on the 70cm band. It does 25 watts on high power, and 10 watts on low powe
He is actually in 4 grids-2 of them were new for me-DN56 and DN65!! My computer is working on its VUCC now. 73 John AF5CC _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VH
I have for sale a Ten Tec 2 meter transverter than uses a 10 meter IF. Up to 20 watts on 10 meters in produces 10 watts out on 2 meters, and you get to use all of the features of your HF radio on 2 m
I wonder if anyone has come across this issue when using the Kenwood TS2000 on 6m FT8 or VHF meteor scatter. I recently purchased a used Kenwood TS2000, made in January 2012. I am looking at getting
I have for sale an Icom 910H 2m/70cm SSB/CW/FM satellite radio in very good condition. This model does 100 watts on 2 meters and 75 watts on 70cm, dual receive so you can listen to both bands at once
I have for sale a Yaesu FT847 HF/6m/2m/70cm all mode transceiver in very good condition. This model does 100 watts on HF and 6 meters, and 50 watts on 2m and 70cm, so it gives you decent power levels
I have for sale an item from the WD5USA estate, which is a M2 2 meter loop antenna, along with a phasing harness in case you want to stack 2 of these loops. I hooked up the loop to a Yaesu FT100 and
Actually many hams have 2m and 70cm sideband capabilities-look at the number of 706MKIIG and FT857Ds sold. They just never choose to move the mode selector off of FM on those bands. 73 John aF5CC ___
I have for sale 3 N male to SO239 adapters. 2 are new and 1 is used but should still work fine. These are great to use with radios or antennas that have a N female connector, and coax or diplexers wi
Herb, Your experience was the opposite of mine. I tuned over to 50.318 quite a few times and found very little activity. I think I made 1 or 2 FT4 QSOs in the contest. Everything else was on FT8 wher
