Well I ended up with a VHF Engineering 222 mhz amplifier, thinking it was for 2 meters instead. Anyway, this model is all mode, and puts out 120 watts with 10 watts of drive. In good shape physically
I know this is a long shot-but here goes: Quite a few years ago a company named Klitzing in San Jose, CA made a 10 in 60 watt out UHF amplifier. Had a nice orange front panel on it. I had one of thes
WOW! This was my best day ever for DXing on 6! After watching several days of DX spots from all the other parts of the country, the DX finally got here to SW Oklahoma. Here is what I worked Time Call

I am looking for a couple of amps to use on WSJT, so class C (FM mode) amps are fine. I am looking for both a 6 meter and a 2 meter amp, 10 watts of drive for 100 or more watts out. No preamp needed.

Yeah, but do you really want a rule stating that you must work everyone you hear? I personally would like to meet some of these captive rovers. I can't imagine that anyone's idea of fun is driving ar
There is a big difference between "encourage" and "require". Couldn't you also interpret this rule as stating that rovers should get on all bands, run as much power as possible, to the best antennas

To top it off, there are some other VHF operators/contests who I find personally annoying. Should I be forced to QSO them? Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't but if I go roving, don't make a rule
To try and bring up another idea along with the captive rover thread, I will bring up an idea I have had for some time. They have the WRTC contest every two years on HF where the world's HF contestor
Assuming that capative rovers are being used, and are a big problem, there is still another problem. The Multi Multi contest group has probably armed the rover and ordered them out, with orders to wo
Go Roving for it! Sneak out and work a few between the wedding and reception. Just make sure you work more than one station or you will be damned to radio hell for being a capative rover. 73s John NE
