[Lloyd Berg N9LB]

Hi Dave!

I didn't know about the group, I'll sign up.  Thanks.

Yes I am thinking about adding more bands.
( My other ambition is to get more power for the bands I have now. )

Hi Lloyd,
Looks like you are headed toward the microwave bands..... I was 
wondering if you have
heard of MAMS (Mid- American Microwave Society)?  It is a group 
dedicated to just
microwave.  You now have 902, 1296 and 2304.  Are you planning to get 
3456, 5760
and 10.3 GHz in the future?

I would like to invite you to join this ground so that you can 
participate in MAD ( Micro-
wave Activity Day) which is the first Saturday of each month.  I have 
included this e-mail
to the MAMS group so that you will have the site location.  There is a 
sign-up page that
you will have to be approved before you are added to the list just so 
that we can keep
spammers out.
73,
Dave - KB0PE/ EM48ts

Total                 82    131    56

Score : 7,336

Single op, low power, six bands.

Rig is FLEX-50000 w/ DEMI transverters

Antennas are all single M2 yagis

I had hoped to be on 2304 MHz, got the antenna and rotor loop up but
didn't get the feed line installed in time. Hopefully will have that
taken care of for the Fall u-wave sprint.

Saturday morning I got up early and went to the Chicago Radio
Expo/ Belvedere Hamfest looking for a 6M amp. Nothing found. When I
returned home I was so tired that I fell asleep and missed most of the
contest on Saturday. Sunday  morning watched the 9-11 stuff on TV, so my
operating was late Sunday morning through the end of the contest.
Because of that, my results were down from last year where I had 5 bands
working and 105 Q's for a score of 9,333.

Band conditions while I was operating on Sunday were flat, no tropo
enhancement, no e-skip.

Never heard the bulk of the Rovermania stations operating in the plains
states. ( I did look for you )

Many thanks to the rovers I did connect with: KC0P/R, K9 JK /R, W9 SNR 
/R &
W9 SZ Hill-top Portable.

6 band sweeps with K2 DRH , W9GA

5 band sweep with W9 SZ , K2 YAZ , N9UHF, W9 SNR /R

4 band sweep with W0 UC , W9 ZIH , KF 8 QL , WZ 8T

Best DX :
    50 MHz  W8 PGW 286.8 mi  EN82
  144 MHz  K8 TQK   410.0 mi  EM89
  222 MHz  K2 YAZ    218.8 mi  EN74
  432 MHz  WZ 8T      197.1 mi  EN72
  902 MHz  K2 YAZ    218.8 mi  EN74
1296 MHz K2 YAZ    218.8 mi  EN74

73 to all and will look for you in the Fall Sprints
