[MAMS] August MAD

[ROBERT THOMAS]

Hi to all,
 
I was set up at GP Hill EN82em for MAD this morning listens a lot heard nothing.  At the start of the UHF Contest rain and the threat of lightening, so I called it a day.  I will try again tomorrow morning from Sterling State Park EN81hv.   I will have 222 thru 10 GHz.
 
73,
Bob, WA8VPD

Busy this morning made a water cooled 2c39 and repaired 1296 power supply. Ran 250 and blew 2 tubes so decided to reduce drive with new tube and see 100W. Threat of thunderstorm so delayed to get on contest at 2:00PM. Mark

Arrived at AJ, EN74at,  set up 8AM. Cloudy, Hazy. Looked for beacons. Only one heard K3SIW 1296. Gone by 9:30 AM. Heard some weak sigs on 2M. Called CQ a bunch of times. 222 decided to quit working. Trying to trouble shoot it. Fix it before the UHF test. Good shakedown. Looks like rain. Due to current set up, can't set up rover to operate in the rain. Later.
