Concentrate on 6 meters if the signals are very weak. Move to 2m when signals are strong on 6. Try 222 also. 432 is possible, but for contesting purposes is not productive. If you're working tropo a
Here's some information on your power supply (from the Microwave email list). Since I wrote this, I powered up mine successfully. I haven't done anything with it yet, though, other than load test it.
Check out W1GHZ's small transverter for the Flex-1500: http://www.w1ghz.org/small_proj/small_proj.htm It's low power, though, so if you have a microwave transverter with high drive requirements then
I have placed pictures and text describing my portable Moxon rectangle for 6m on my website: http://kb8u.ham-radio-op.net/moxon It assembles in about a minute, not counting hooking up the coax. 73, R
Come on over to Michigan for the next 10GHz and up contest. We've got a very relaxed attitude toward the contest; none of us are out to win. Dawdlers and experimenters are always welcome. Join the ya

Also check out the WA5VJB cheap yagi designs. They'll probably out perform the old quagi designs that are out there and are easier to build. Russ KB8U _______________________________________________
I think the best way to generate a most wanted grid list would be to make it as easy as possible for participants to enter data. The majority of hams aren't going to bother compiling a list, let alon
https://www.mapdevelopers.com/draw-circle-tool.php -- Tom -- If you want a circle on an azimuthal equidistant projection with your QTH at the center, here's two sites that will generate such maps: ht
I use an FT817 as a 432 MHz IF on my 10 GHz portable rig with a DEM transverter. I had the opposite problem, there was too much sensitivity on 432. The noise floor was S9+20dB and it would overload o
The horn you have sounds like it's too big and you will not be effectively illuminating the whole dish if you try to use it. It has too much gain so the beam width is too narrow. If you moved the fee
Hi, Les. 2300 km or 1400 miles is a good approximation, twice that for 2 hops. Russ KB8U -- I?m very interested in determining my maximum possible range for eskip propagation, for both single and dou
