[MAMS] [BC'ers] Spring Sprints Start Mon., Apr. 11th, on 2m

[Zack Widup]

I will probably be on for the last hour or so at least. That will
pretty much rule out contacts in the Eastern time zone.

I'll probably just use my small 4 ele Yagi. May run 100 watts or may
stick with 10. I'm leaning toward using the amp since there are only
two categories in this contest - Single Op and Rover - with no power
categories.

I'm working hard on getting the pieces all done and put together for
the 24 GHz station for the Microwave Sprint on May 7. Just finished
assembling a 432 MHz W1GHZ Miniverter-L last night as the IF stage. I
hope I find I have a good SDH transceiver when I get all of this done
...

73, Zack W9SZ
