[NLRS] Up a creek without an IF rig - QRT for test

[Jim, K0MHC]

Well, it looks like I won't make it. Murphy seems to have won this round.

My tower took a lightning strike last week taking out my FT-847 low band IF
rig, amplifier pre-amp and one of the transverters. I received a temporary
IF rig (IC-703) from Burghardt yesterday (after a shipping snafu) but, it
was DOA. Plan C was to shift the IF rig from the microwave looper bands to
the low bands but, that didn't pan out either (due to sequencing and power
level incompatibilities).  So, without 432  & 222 working there isn't much
point in going out with just 902-3456.

The good news is that a replacement transverter arrived and both 5.7 & 10
GHz are humming while the crystals are getting burned in.

Good luck to everyone who makes it out for the UHF test.

73, Jim
