( I bit the bullet and finally got that 10 GHz
Transverter from Downeast Microwave and should be ready to run in the June
Contest.)??
He is sure right about biting the bullet the cost of just get one band above
432 is too much. What 350 for one that you have to put together and higher
for an assemble one.
This is the reasons that the many of us are not on these bands. Its a hard
sell for me to put that much money in a rig just for one band and the only time
to use it when we have tropo or contest. Sure is a lot of time just sitting
there when there is no activity but noise. There got to be a cheaper way to
get on these bands.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of
?arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body,
?but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up,
?totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - -
?
?WOW - What a Ride!!!!"
