So i think I sent my previous email before reading this through, sorry about that!! In receive, the amp output jack is connected through the T/R relays to the input jack. The RF sensing circuit comes
Be sure you have "deep search" turned off!!! You'll get all kinds of weird calls if that is turned on. Terry Price - W8ZN _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VH
Folks, After a little "prodding" from a local ham, I'm contemplating a portable operation from EM87 in the CQ VHF contest coming up. EM87 appears to be a much needed grid and It's been 35 years since
Folks, Despite spending most of last night at the doggie ER with my collie that now knows to stay away from copperheads, (he's fine!) I am a go for EM87!! I should be on the air tomorrow evening and
These two factory assembled units are both 10m I.F. and take 5w maximum drive and use a common tx/rx port at 10m, perfect for any HF rig that can be turned down to 5w output. The 902 unit will do 60w
Both transverters are sold, thanks for the interest!! Terry Price - W8ZN _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.contestin
Folks, My dad bought a brand new pair of 8874's back in 1999 to build a 432 kw which he never started before he became a silent key. I have no use for them and maybe someone with a Tempo 6N2 or a Hen
Check out https://eb104.ru/karta-sayta/directory I have one of their hf/6m pallets and a 2m pallet, they work VERY well. Can't vouch for the completed units but they appear to be very well thought ou
Couple of things to remember when testing 6m beams close to the ground. Unless you can get a horizontal 6m beam 20 ft off the ground, your results will not be consistent, tie a rope between two trees
The third harmonic of 50.313 is 150.939, there is probably enough energy to cause problems. A good LPF on the 6m station might help and a good bandpass filter on 2m should help. A brute force method
This brings up a long time complaint about the ARRL/CAC or whomever decides rules and categories. I've only been VHF contesting since the late 70's, was too busy auto racing and motocross racing befo
Well I certainly wasn't trying to blast any past or present members that are contesters, I'm sure they feel the same way albeit they may not be able to share their true opinion!!! Of course the easie
Folks, thought I would pass this along. I've bought several of their HF-6m amps, 2m amps and 70cm amp (these are just the pallets, I add my own support electronics and relays). They work VERY well an
Ed, et all, There are several reasons for the decline, mostly age. K3YTL, W3SO and others have lost folks that pretty well crippled them. Others had families to raise, most folks don't know what a he
Please remember this is a VHF CONTESTING reflector. Conversations and comments reflect views on VHF CONTESTING. I love FT8, I've worked grids during contests that I would not have been able to work w
We have tried FT4 and like SSB/cw not many are there and it still doesn't address moving people to other bands and having everyone on one frequency. If all you operate is 6m or 2m and you don't have
A lot of folks do use that area for sending QSY info, the problem is unlike when you are in QSO with someone, they don't show up as red on the other person's screen and they are easily missed. This i
Actually, 5V @ 30A same as a pair of 3-500z's which are 15A each. I used a filament transformer from a SB220 to light my 3CX1000A7 160m amp. Any of the SK-800 series sockets can be modified to remove
Hi all, I've re-arranged my schedule to open Tuesday evening to get on from FM09te. 4x FO12's, 1kw. I'll be testing my new 432 array also, 4x FO25's and a kw. Terry Price - W8ZN Directive Systems and
