Hello to the group,
After a great time at our WinterFest in Collinsville, IL. this Saturday I ran into Marcel - N9NJY/ EM58bL
and he has worked Zack on 902 for his first contact ever!  Marcel has a DEMI box with 30 watts and he
bought two of the cheap end mounted 902 Mhz yagi's at this past Dayton hamfest.  He made a power
combiner so that the two yagi's are up around 130 ft. on his tower.  We made a sked for this morning and
we worked each other on 902.100 using USB!  He was 5X5 at my end so we tried 1296 but he
discovered high VSWR on his line plus I didn't hear anything so hopefully he will find the problem and be
ready for the next MAD weekend, this 4 th of FEB.  The two combined yagi's seem to be performing OK but
the band conditions are way down.....
 
I will be getting my ROVER Antenna rack on my Mercury Mountaineer this weekend and plan to drive up
to EM49ua and see what can be worked next weekend on the uW bands!  2m Liaison 144.260, 902,
1296, 3456 and 5.7.  anyone like a sked, let me know.
73,
Dave
