Topband: Small lot

[N4IS]

HI Larry

Nice to hear from you. Congratulations!. Yes Gary is doing a great job with the preamps, huge improvements . I am preparing some equipment's to PT0S DX expedition and George always comment about the work with Gary. George now has one preamp with 9 FET's in parallel. 

You will get over 200 by the end of the next season. I'm sure about. With a good preamp and the WF tuned like you have, you can hear a third  layer of DX not possible before

Regards

   I read you’re comments the Top Band reflector. While I have never operated any digital modes I have enjoyed some great success on 160 with much thanks to the rotatable WF. Much of the credit goes to you, NX4D and KD9SV. Without yours, Doug’s and Gary’s help I would have given up on 160, not to leave out W8UVZ, K8GG and W0CD. Gary has sent me several prototype preamps, each one better than the last. Without Gary’s help I would not have  pulled NH8S out of the noise last week and worked them on 160. Or for that matter RI1ANF a few weeks ago. Currently I have 154 worked with 139 confirmed on 160 from a lot of 80’ X 100’.
