[VHFcontesting] Microwave Activity Days

[David Olean]

Hi Bill,
    I am hoping to get my 3456 system back up and running for the weekend. I
want to check the new antenna out. The antenna is up  4 X 112 element
Blowtorches at 138 ft, but the rf box is still on the ground. I hope to have
it going this weekend. I can't wait to see how that system works. The single
one was awesome! Four should be aa hoot! Gain about that of a sxi ft dish!!
Look for me and we can try something!
