Hi all, I do not post often to reflectors, but this thread is important to all VHF contesters and operators. There have been discussions for several years about making logs from VHF contests public.
Howard, This is 1296 with decent power, do you really want to recommend UHF connectors????? Tthere are so many mil surplus type N relays out there that it's not worth the chance. With the inherent SW
Hi Steve - all. While I have roved in the past, it has been a while and I am interested in this also since I am going to brave the wx this weekend. Being a rover and only running low to modest power,
W8ZN (my new call) with K1RA will be roving this January. We will be starting out in FM08 at 4400' on Reddish Knob for the first 6 hrs of the contest (or until we freeze!). From there we head to FM07
When not S&P, we will try to call CQ on 144.247 (tnx John!!) at the bottom of each hour. We will try to find everyone on their own frequency but if we miss you, listen up for us! Good luck to all. Te
There is a close harmonic relationship between 222 and 144. The LO for a transverter would have to be 78 MHz, 222 - 144 = 78. The third harmonic of 78 MHz is 234 MHz. Back when the band was 220, I tr
None of the existing designs for transverters that are produced today with work on 10GHz with a 28MHz IF. DEM, DB6NT even W1GHZ doesn't go there, just not enough spacing between the LO and IF for pro

Hi all, I need a copy of the schematic for a Mirage B1016G, pre MFJ brick amp. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!! Terry _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list V
Hi all, For those who use DB6NT transverters, I've had three failures on three different transverters all traced to the same part. DB6NT uses a FET for the main T/R switching which is a BUZ171. There
Hi all, No, not kilowatts of RF, DC power! I have a power question about car charging systems. I installed a 200A alternator in my little truck that is going to be used as my rovermobile. The output
Thanks to all those who answered my question about 12v car charging systems. Terry _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists
Everyone has their favorites. Last year I was within a week of buying a new FT2000......until I saw W3ZZ's K3. K8GP had used W4XP's FT2000 and it was very good, actually about as good as our beloved
I promised myself I was not going to post on this thread but my fingers have a mind of their own. It really is quite simple. IF the folks doing the grid circling set out with 10mw rigs, small antenna
I too think it is great that Tom has taken it on his own to implement this along with other changes to Roverlog. I would like to remind everyone in the radio community that Roverlog is FREE. If you u
I've been watching this for several days, weeks, months. I have some simple observations. Back in the 80's, during a September contest I believe, there was a huge tropo opening between the midwest (C
Geoff, Just because you can't enter the scores in your total doesn't mean you can't take 10 and 24G, just turn those in as a check log. If you take them and make Q's and don't turn them in as check l
Dick, Are you wanting to operate from a fixed location or drive around going to different grids? 73, Terry -- Original Message -- From: w1rrd@columbus.rr.com To: Steve Clifford Cc: VHFcontesting@cont
And, to make matters worse, ask someone at the ARRL how to submit your 4 low bands as your log but assign other contacts as checkllogs. I can't find it in the Cabrillo header - you can't submit a sep
Thanks Sean for the link. Does this same thing apply to a limited multi op? Terry -- Original Message -- To: VHF Contesting Reflector Sent: Thu, 28 May 2009 18:46:34 +0000 (UTC) Subject: Re: [VHFcont
