[VHFcontesting] Looking for Grids on 432

[Les Rayburn]

Jim,

I would welcome a sked for 432 with you, as I need your grid as well. My 
station is capable of tropo operation on 432, and might actually be better 
for that band than 2 Meters. However, I am limited to 75 watts and an indoor 
antenna...

If you REALLY want EM63, then the operator you need to discuss a schedule 
with is Jim Long, W4ZRZ. Jim has a new monster array for 432. It's a total 
of eight Yagi's (21 elements each, I believe) arrange on a square grid with 
a power divider. Jimmy can run a KW on 432, and has special tuned cavity 
pre-amps for the array.

I suspect he could successfully work you with minimal backscatter and 
perhaps no enhancement at all!
To my knowledge, I don't he subscribes to e-mail reflectors, but if you want 
to contact me by telephone, I'll be happy to provide his telephone numbers.

(205) 253-4867

Of course, I still need your grid! So let me know if you'd like to try a 
schedule with me on 432.

VUCC on 6 thru 432 is my goal as well.

73,

Les Rayburn, N1LF
