I have a older DEMI 432 transverter for sale. This is one of the older generation units in the grey metal box. I would also consider a trade or partial trade for a DEMi 1296 MHz transverter. DEM P/N

222 M/S FSK441 QSO's are made during the contests but it's a trade-off in time vs value of the mult. There are 2 or 3 people I would try with because I know their station capabilities, but it's still

That is a ridiculous solution to a problem many saw coming. How can the ARRL simply cancel a operating event with such a long history ? Sure, it's "their" contest, but how much resource do they actua

Another thought concerning 3rd party involvement... I know a lot of people have heartburn about the ARRL Rover rules being tweaked over the years due to grid circling, with the result (in some minds)

As I mention in my first reply, the ARRL already farms out all the contest articles to (mostly) non-staffers. -RM Keith J Morehouse Managing Partner Calmesa Partners G.P. Olathe, CO _________________

I'll make one more set of comment on this (unless specifically addressed) then let it evolve or die on it's own, since I have not really been a supporter of the UHF test in the past due to lack of eq

Hello all. I'm looking for a 1296 transverter. 28 or 144 MHz IF is fine. 1W or 10W - I can work with either. Thanks. Jay W9RM Keith J Morehouse Managing Partner Calmesa Partners G.P. Olathe, CO _____

Welcome to 6M Dwight. You live in a fairly rare grid so you will be in demand. People don't really do JT65 on 6 the way you are familiar with on HF. JT65(A) is used for EME, of course, but also for v
