[SCCC] Generous Donation from W6AQ

[Marty Woll]

Hi, all.

 

In connection with simplifying his Hollywood station to one that focuses on
remoted HF, SCCC member Dave Bell W6AQ has made a generous donation of VHF
and UHF equipment to SCCC for use in VHF-and-up contesting.  The following
gear is available on a loaner basis to any SCCC member wishing to use it for
a contest operation (and credited to SCCC's club score, if applicable):

 

 

Yaesu F-736R transceiver with all available modules, covering 50, 144, 222,
432 and 1296 MHz, all modes.  This radio can be powered by either 120 VAC or
13.8 VDC. 

 

RF Concepts RFC2-317 144 MHz amplifier

 

TE Systems 2212G 222 MHz amplifier

 

Mirage D1010 432 MHz amplifier

 

SSB mast-mounted preamps for 222, 432 and 1296 MHz

 

Single long-boom yagis for 144, 222 432 and 1296 MHz

 

Four SSB DCW series sequencers

 

 

Back in the active days of the Western States Weak-Signal Society, Dave was
a regular participant in the VHF and UHF SSB nets, and you could always
count on getting W6AQ into your VHF and UHF contest logs on multiple bands.
This legacy equipment is still better than what most VHF+ contesters have
available today. Dave wants it to be used to encourage SCCC contest activity
on the bands above HF.  Please contact me to arrange a loan of the
equipment.  Hint: ARRL January VHF Sweepstakes is only two months away.

 

Dave, a hearty thank you from all of us!

 

73,
