[MAMS] The new list

[Mike Suhar]

Hi Jack,

Going into winter the weather will make MAD somewhat difficult for us
rovers.  I have a location I go which is the top of a parking garage at a
local mall.  This is only a two story garage but the mall is located on high
ground and I have a very good view to the west.  I have used this location
to work Brad down in KY 146 miles southwest.  It would be worth a shot to
try your direction on 2-meter SSB then move up from there.  

We will have to coordinate a MAD to give this a try.

Hi Mike,

I live in Urbana, IL. I don't have any microwave antennas at home, though,
so I usually go to a nearby hill. There is a great hill about 45 miles from
where I live, in EN50rl. It's about 10 miles west of Gibson City, IL.

We should be able to work. I've worked K8TQK from there a few times and I've
worked Milwaukee, which is 240 miles away, up through 2304 fairly often. I
also once worked W9SNR, who was in Port Washington WI, through 10 GHz from
that hill.

I go up there fairly often on skeds to work people on microwave bands.
During the week I can get up there and be set up by 7 am Central time, and
can stay till 8 am when I need to pack up and go to work. On weekends I
often have more time available. Microwave Activity Day (MAD) is the first
Saturday morning of every month. It's a time when we can get on the air and
make some QSO's (or try to). It's not a contest or anything. But it usually
gets put on hold during the winter as it's harder to operate portable then.

I'll have to miss MAD tomorrow, I'm afraid.

73, Zack W9SZ
