[NLRS] HP 432A, Ops from DM13

[billd@2z.net]

Hi Guys

  Picked up a HP432A power meter. No manual,AC cable or "head". Anyone know  of 
sources of these items?  The AC cable looks pretty "normal" but nothing that I 
have.

   I'm in DM13, we got out here on Tuesday for a couple of weeks. EVERYone in 
the household has the flu but me so far, argh ..... That is a bummer. Been on 
144.200 SSB some from here. Built up another 6elem "cheap yagi" and have it LOW 
in the backyard. Trying to avoid the "antenna police". Best DX has been AAL 
K7ICW 200 miles away in Las Vegas. Strange path with the mountains and no easy 
way to peak the antenna. Pat will have to be my "rotator" the next time we 
work. Al was S1-S6 in here with a real SLOW QSB. He would be strong for about 
minute  and then down to S1.

  Attended the San Bernardino Microwave Society meeting last night. About 30 
guys were there. They are hard at work on the P-Com 24 GHz Conversion Project 
and K6JEY expained about his GPS augmented freq standard that he is running. It 
is the $250 unit you see advertised lately in QST surplus. Had a nice visit 
with Chip Angle and several others. They were really "pumped" about their 
showing in the latest Microwave contest. Over 112,000 pts by their top 
operator, some really great paths and lots of rovers. They were really bummed 
out with the loss of (Clint) W1LP/MM's operations. Clint had provided some huge 
long path stuff on 10G. Clits tanker has been decommissioned and has been sold 
for scrap.
