[NLRS] K0MHC/R Plans for UHF Test (preliminary)

[Jim, K0MHC]

Rich and all, here are my preliminary plans for the Rover Mania.

BANDS/EQUIPMENT: (this may be somewhat optimistic as I don't have everything
operational yet)

222..180 watts into 12 elements (tbd)
432..180 watts into approx 16 elements (tbd)
902..50 watts into 19 element looper
1296..35 watts into 25 element looper
2304..15 watts into 41 element looper
3456..40 watts into 45 element looper

5760 & 10 GHz..200 millwatts into 23" dia dish (dual feed) on a tripod mount

Given the rotational radius of the antennas on this push-up mast I WON'T be
operating while driving!
