[AK-VHF] So close, yet so far

[Edward R Cole]

Tom,

I had a 222/28 transverter which would do all modes and sold it about 
a year ago because there is only FM activity.  I bought a Bridgecom 
BCM-220 30w mobile which I use two 11-element yagis at 60-foot.  I 
also have a 130w linear.

Originally I had two 150w amps which I considered combining to try 
222-eme but finally decided I did not have enough power/gain for eme 
and also because there are few stations on 222-eme.  I think KL6M is 
the only station with 222 SSB/CW.
