[Lowfer] SL 630m Overnight Bcn

[Sean Cavanaugh]

Hi Steve,

I know we’ve discussed things a bit, but for the benefit of others on this list I will reveal my intentions.

I’m working on getting on 630 and 2200m, though it’s been a lot slower than I hoped. Moving last fall set things back a lot, and I still don’t have a good workshop set up.  I’ve been working on the RX side, with an active loop RX now up and running, and hope to have a transmit antenna by the end of the summer. A transmitter may be a bit further down the line, but if the antenna is up and working I can spend the winter working in my shack to get something going.

73,
Sean - VA5LF
