My rover is probably the most extreme situation I have observed... The 6 meter and two meter station use preamps, the 6 meter station dumps out around 360W, the two meter station, 160. The antennas a
I resemble that statement:-) Been there, done that, but in JUNE!!!!!! See my ARRL June VHF test soapbox photos... 2006 if memory serves me... Eric KB7DQH _____________________________________________
Before I did the roving thing, I would camp out on the end of the only unpaved State Highway in Washington State... which in January conveniently is where the Evans Creek ORV park lower parking lot
You forgot about birds... N7MX caught a sparrow with a 1296 Mhz loop yagi one rove long ago... Eric KB7DQH _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@con
With any power at all from your radio at that altitude, you should not have any problem with any simplex or working several repeaters at once on the same frequency! I would, therefore, stick to simp
Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't. Depending on how long it took to get the various stations "dialed-in" there could be lots more 10 Ghz activity than normal 'round those parts, I would guess:-) That
I use a 3 pole tuneable ceramic filter pulled from the front end of a Quintron 900 Mhz paging link receiver in the homebrew transverter... Works FB. If I need something tighter, i just dig through my
Do just a bit more math, and the 850 Mhz LO can be used with a 446 Mhz IF to put you on 1296 as well! At MUD 2005 I found an 850 Mhz phase-locked LO and homebrewed a 903/1296 transverter with it... O
I believe, "largely ignored" because the "unlimited rover" category is so new that few in the VHF contesting community have actually built up a station that can support operation on many bands simult
Obviously space is not a consideration if you were looking at a TS 2000:-) The FT 857D is the smallest package of the three, and would no doubt run cooler than the Icom 7000. Only thing I don't like
Sorry, NO VOX on the FT 726R... I have two of these... Eric KB7DQH _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/

Or, one could simply operate an Unlimited Multiop station from more than one grid... Then what??? "Classic Unlimited rover"? Eric KB7DQH _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting
Yup, I was the first to enter in this new category... NO grid circling... or anyone roving along with... Too bad, actually, the team would have "activated" rather than "made noise from" 4 more grid s
Right, an "unlimited rover". Then, you still would have to be set up within that 160 mile circle defined as the "club territory"... The real benefit for a club to encourage the running of as many rov
Kinda like "washing your car to make it rain"... but, you are not the only one who has made this observation:-) Eric KB7DQH _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list

Seen it done to line up microwave shots when 2 meters wouldn't make the trip... over 15 years ago when I first got my Icom 202 and started doing "WEAK signal stuff" and visited NU7Z and KD7TS up on M
Key word here is "commercial"... I have seen a filter design by N6CA that is narrow enough at 10 Ghz to allow for a 10 meter band IF... and he homebrewed a 10 Ghz transverter based on his filter desi
