Well since Dave has difribulated activity on 222 and now there's growing interest I wanted to pass along a way to possibly increase your signal. I have a number of amplifier boards removed from VHF T
Let me clarify prices and shipping....single boards $75 plus $10 for shipping. Double boards $150 shipped. I only want to ship to USA addresses. Thanks and 73 Fred N1DPM _____________________________
Well the new 222 antenna here seems to work great. I worked 10 stations tonight, W8ZN, K1DY, W1ZC, WZ1V, N1SV, WA3NUF, K1WHS, K1PXE, AF1T, WA1T. I also tried with VE3DS and no luck and WA3EOQ and he
Since Dave has worked had and gotten 222 activity nights up and going, I thought I'd fill you in on what's going on on 432.... On Wednesday night there has been a long standing sked between K1PXE (FN
Just to ride on Dave's coat tails a bit....I would like to try to get some activity going on Wednesday nights on 432. There's a group (K1PXE, WA2LTM, WZ1V and a few others) that get on about 8:40 PM
Fun time on 432 tonight! I had 10 QSO's WA1PBU FN42 K1WT FN41 WS1K FN41 K1TEO FN31 K1PXE FN31 WZ1V FN31 N1LHP FN42 KO4YC FM17 K3GNC FN20 NC2I FN30 Hopefully we can work some of this over the weekend.
This was the " maiden voyage" for my new LFA yagis on 222 and 432. I have read people talking about lousy conditions. I thought conditions weren't half bad... I got on at the beginning of the contest
Well, like Dave's 222 message yesterday...Here's mine to get you fired up about 432 activity night. I plan to be on about 8PM or so on 432.1 and then move up to where K1PXE and co gather on 432.150 a
Over the weekend I ran with Arliss W7XU 4 times on meteors....We finally completed on the 4th try with a giant blue whizzer that lasted almost 30 seconds! I hope to be on tomorrow night. Reminder tha
I got on late and off early ...not a good way to rack up QSOs! In my short time on I worked WA3EOQ FM09, K1PXE FN32, N2RDX FN20 and W1AIM FN34. Hopefully we'll see you all on 432 tonight. 73 Fred N1D
Well the 432 rotor story does have to do with Wednesday night activity on 432.....About 8PM local the guys gather on 432.100 and then at *:30 the fun starts at 432.150 with K1PXE and the guys. Hope t
I worked 10 qs and 8 grids ...missed a few that Ron has like K1DY but I didn't get on until almost 9pm last night. See you all next week. 73 Fred N1DPM FN32qb ________________________________________
I think there's a few factors.... 1. FT8 operations as the "norm" have driven a number of people away from VHF contesting. I for one am one of those people.... Now with the analog only category it se
So for a new ham pick up a good used FT847 or similar for about $600 and you'll have 100w on 160 through 6 and 50w on 144 and 432....all modes repeater offsets etc etc.... 73 Fred N1DPM _____________
Suggestion....just put out there when you'll be on and then maybe the people who want to work you can make you the center of attention . 73 Fred N1DPM _______________________________________________
Well....It's not the "latest and greatest" but it's still very functional and in fact it remains my main VHF/ UHF / EME rig today....20+ years later..(I bought mine at Dayton on closeout in 2001). Th
Well I got on late but thought conditions were pretty good. I only worked 12 QSO's but 10 grids with the best ones being WA3EOQ in FM09jo at 349 miles and then K1DY with a BIG SIGNAL (S9+) from FN54
When is the 6 meter sprint? 73 N1DPM _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontesting
