Hi Bill...thanks for this list...it is the start of a data base with bands 
that could go on ur Web site...hint...hint.

I think the QSO of the day was ours in SSB on 432. I felt you should have 
been stronger and you no doubt believed the same way. As I was tearing down, 
I noticed a coax cable from the 430 ant about 2 feet from the 432 rig whose 
antenna N fitting was absolutely naked.... 

You somehow got a Q5 signal to me inspite of cockpit error!

My 24 Ghz rig can't switch to xmt and I have hence no power out....will 
double check
DC switching/relays as culprit should be there. 

An excellent AD due increased activity as Bernie already mentioned.  
Delighted to work Tom, K2UOP0, for first time with QSOs on 1.2 es 2.3 
Ghz....next time we try the 5.7 es 10 Ghz that we could not due today.


73,
