[NLRS] 2m net ??

Mon, 22 Sep 2003 14:04:57 -0500

Hi Dan.   The NLRS 2m net meets on Sunday nights at 9:00 PM local on
144.250.     Matt, KA0PQW in EN33 is the usual net control and all
check-ins are welcome.

Also tonight (Monday), there is a four hour contest on 2m only call the 2m
Sprint contest.   As such, you should be able to find some activity tonight
on 2m to check your rig out with.   From Hastings you should be able to
work around the Twin Cities with either antenna configuration ..... I would
recommend the lower horizontally polarized beam.

Hi everyone.

A late thanks to everyone who gave me transverter adivce.

Well, I have built the Ten-TEc 1210 kit, but sadly I broke the driver
transistor
because I didn't have it lined up right with the heatsink.

I now have a replacement transistor and I am ready to get on the air
with it as soon as I put the new transistor in.

I would like to know if there are any 2m SSB nets going on and when they
take place. I am hoping that I can give my new transverter a good test that
way. I would have been on the air on the contest weekend, but I broke that
transistor!

I will have a modest setup.  I can go two ways, I can use my base antenna
on 2m which is veritcal at about 30 feet, or I can get out on the deck and
put
up my portable 3 element 2m beam at about 15 feet, horizontal. I am not
sure
which setup would be the best since the wrong polarization on the base
would likely make up for the extra height. I am in Hastings, BTW, with a
100 foot
rise in elevation very close to my west.

Thanks!
