[VHFcontesting] W4SHG/R Rover Schedule for Fall 144 VHF SprintsApril 25, 2007

[David Olean]

Hi Steve,
It is that time again, but with no source of AC power to speak of, I will be 
running just the 60 watt exciter on 144 MHz. It looks like the band will be 
open later this week, but with the limited power available, I cannot have 
all the bands up and idling, even if I run 100 watts on each band. What a 
bummer! It looks like I can run 60 watts on 144, and then 903 and up. 222 
and 432 would kill the generator. 903 and 2304 almost kill it by themselves!
    I spent most of Saturday tinkering with the big (dead)  generator, but 
got nowhere. I could not even remove some parts from the block to allow an 
inspection of whatever failed. I need to call in an "expert".
