Interesting ideas. How about 6m+ for this coming weekend, anyone want to propose from freq suggestions for NE Illinois? Joe Serocki Here is an idea I've been kicking around for these contests. Rovers
Well, the Gremlins hit here as well. N9IFG/R is off the air, the 20 below weather has destroyed coax (the plastic shield literally shatters when moved), bolts snap off (cheap steel, but I cannot affo
SSB Electronic LT-23S transverter.just like LT33S but uses 144 MHz for the IF. Solid state power amp is a DownEast 2335PA which is good for about 30 watts output (only measured 20 watts on a 400-1000

I am on the coax quest, looking for decent LMR-240 that's flexible with a stranded center connector for rover use. Anyone have any recommendations on a supplier for 500 or 1000 feet? ________________
Rover(s) and home antennas. Figured if I was going to buy a ton for one project, might as well leverage the economy of scale and buy a ton. 500 or 1000 feet of coax for a Rover? That's a BIG vehicle
