[MAMS] 2-3gigs with k4to

[Dave Calvert]

Yes,
I worked Jim from my qth on that really good 10 gig contest weekend on 3456
and 10 gig's when he was on Willow Hill Golf Course!!!  I didn't have 2304 and
Jim's 5.7 was not working or I would have worked him on these two bands as
well !!!   The band was in great shape then !!!

Also, Zack it was the same contest that you and I worked for the first time 
after
8 tries that you just about blew me off my roof shack hi hi.   I sure would like 
to
visit the Willow Hill golf course location one of these days.
73,
Dave

Yes, I've used Radio Mobile and it doesn't show anything particularly bad.
Plus, we've made it on the other bands including 5760. I guess we'll keep
trying. If you can run it on your program, I was in EN50rl and Wally is in
EN40tw. I believe he has his dish on a tower about 30 feet up. I was using a
dish on a tripod 4 feet off the ground.

Jim W9SNR and I did some tests during MAD a few months ago. We found that we
could work each other through 10 GHz from two different locations for him
under completely flat conditions. He was on Tower Hill near Elgin, IL
(EN52sa) and Willow Hill Golf Course (EN62cc). I was in EN50rl. The
distances were comparable to those to Wally.

73, Zack W9SZ
