[Elecraft] 903 or 1296 Mhz Transverter

[Jim Lowman]

Nice to know, Ed.  I've been toying with the idea of getting on 222 MHz 
for the contests, but there is so little activity in this area (Los 
Angeles/Orange County) that I'm trying to justify the expense of the 
transverter and antenna.

I have a FT-847 that is virtually new, to get on 432 MHz.  I don't know 
how popular 902 MHz is here, but there seems to be more 1296 activity, 
including a couple of nets.

It's crazy - 14 million people in the area and so little happening on 
222.  Lately, from what I've heard, it's mostly FM simplex in the contests.
