[TenTec] Transverter

[Dave, K2DP]

HI Charles,

I have had one of these for about 7 years. Works great, but you should plan 
on using at least a 3-4 element 6 mtr beam for an antenna and add a Mirage 
150 watt final amplifier to the station. 10 watts will work ok on strong 
sporadic e skip, but will be tough if conditions aren't just perfect. It 
will also be hard to work locals on ground wave who are more than 20-30 
miles away. I use my transverter with my OMNI 6+. Great combo.

Have fun and hope to see you on the "magic" band., I've been on 6 since 1963 
and have WAS, WAC and am 1 country short of DXCC right now, just with 
running a 4 element beam at 45 feet and 150 watts.

73,
Dave, K2DP, St. Louis, MO
