I'm going to need a 3-way or larger coax switch for my new rover build. Which models should I be looking at? I am currently leaning towards an Alpha Delta 4B/N but wanted to ask the collective before
Would Andrew FSJ1-50A Superflex be good to use for 432 on a rover? There's a new 20' patch cable with N-males advertised on fleaBay for $30/delivered. Thanks -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH ___
That's a great calculator. I have all kinds of charts for various coax but this calculator makes it real easy for determining short runs. Thanks Ev -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH _____________
Nevermind. I just bought 50' of LMR400 for my 144 and 432 beams - thanks for the replies already received though. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH _______________________________________________
Slow progress towards September but progress none the less. On Monday I ordered a DPM144-5LVA from Directive Systems and it arrived on Tuesday. Today I was disgusted with the band conditions on HF so
Nice report Steve, glad you had a good time. I'm hoping propagation will be good for the contest this weekend. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH _______________________________________________ VH
Gang: I'm hitting in the road shortly, bound for K1WHS, where Dave has graciously welcomed me to sit in front of the controls of the 144MHz station for, according to him and I will quote, "as long as
Well, I had great fun at K1WHS. I didn't last quite as long as I wanted to in the chair, I only made it for about 7.5 hours. I was a terrible op at the very beginning, my apologies to the stations I
I should have taken better notes before I came off the hill at 10:15pm EST but we at K1WHS were non-stop on 6M for the first 7 hours. Our QSO rate on 6 alone was easily 110+ per hour and we had a sco
The numbers have been counted. K1WHS results: 6: 796 Q's x 179 Grids 2: 165 Q's x 32 Grids Total Score: 237,586 Not bad, it will be interesting to see how some of the other big hitters, such as K8GP,
I wasn't a Novice til late 1989 so I can't comment much on June of '87 other than to say I'm jealous. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH _______________________________________________ VHFcontesti
I'm looking forward to it. I will be on the hill at K1WHS again trying to improve my contesting skills. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH _______________________________________________ VHFcontes
My loss is your gain (no pun intended) with this great antenna. I've decided not to setup a rover at this time and therefore have this great 5-element end-mount beam for 144MHz available for sale. I'
The antenna has been spoken for. Thanks. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.con
I only have to ask one thing.. Where was everybody in the North East? It seemed to me that quite a few regulars along with some (many) rovers were no where to be found on the bands. Has anyone else n
That's only because I wasn't able to participate in this contest. *grin* -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting
It looks like MUD is going to conflict with the 50MHz Fall Sprint on the 20th. It will definitely conflict with those who have to travel to MUD. Will this impact activity at all for the Sprint? If I
This morning I just finished building and aligning my 6M transverter, a whopping 20W output! While I was putting the cover back on the transverter, FedEx Ground was knocking at my door to deliver a K
I just mounted my 6M antenna and the transverter is all aligned. Could I setup a sked with someone please to see if I have everything working? Probably will have to be someone close by who can point
K1MS/B is a loud 599 zero-beated here at 50066.64 - although the beacon list says he should be at 50064, hopefully I'm not off by this much. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH (FN42gx) ___________
