[ACARS] Test flight

Fri, 29 Mar 2002 12:10:08 -0800 (PST)

Tony,
Im using Wacars also, I was just curious if you heard
the Squitters up there.  I hear KPAE and KSEA
squitters very well.  Im using a ICOM706mkIIG and a 3
elem home brew 2 meter beam to listen on 131.55.  The
reason I was curious if you heard Paine and Seattle is
that Im going to replace that with a dual band
(147/440) homebrew Jpole for Dual band and to see if I
could hear better up north (Ham Repeaters and
aircraft)

Thanks
Rick
