[MAMS] MAD weekend, July 2nd

[Dave Calvert]

Sounds good to me Zack,
I am new on 902 and would like to work you in these two grids!  Would
you like to try other bands as well besides 902?  Would you like to try
just 902 & 24 Gig's?  Any other interest?

Dave

I wold really like to. Earlier I was thinking of driving to Chicago to try
to work Jim W9SNR with my new 24 GHz transverter on Saturday.

But I have some front-end work on my car to do. The ball joints and tie rods
were/are shot. I replaced the ball joints on Saturday and the front end is
more evidently out of alignment now. The tires are also in pretty bad shape.
I have to replace the tie rods before I can even consider having it aligned.
Replacing the tie rods is probably going to be a 6 to 8 hour job. I'm not
likely to have it done by Saturday afternoon.

I may consider driving to somewhere closer to operate on Saturday. Maybe
EN60af, which should have a clear shot to St. Louis, and EN50xf a couple
hundred feet away, which has a clear shot to Chicago. I'd feel comfortable
driving to this location.

Hello to the group,
I know it's the July 4th weekend coming up but does anyone want to
entertain a MAD this July 2nd?  I have done some improvements to
my 902/3 transverter if anyone is interested in trying...  Mad in just
6 more days....

I have been wanting to put a spreadsheet together that shows by
Callsign, name, grid location, phone # and the bands that each of
us is active on from 902+.  I would like to also have the power output
and the type of antenna/Dish used would be good information as
well.
