[NLRS] EN37 report

[jcplatt1 at mmm.com]

Hi Bill.   Great report.   My 902 is currently on the bench in about 20
pieces.   I'm working on an upgrade so that its roverable (is that a word
?) with perhaps 35 watts or so.   I am hoping to be able to complete that
project in the next few weeks, then we can give 902 a shot.   My experience
is that Gary hears you much better from his QTH on the north side of town
than I do from my QTH on the south side of town, so it will be interesting
to see if that plays out on 902 as well.   902 itself is a great band.   In
the big city we have problems with all the baby monitors, cordless phones,
and boops & beeps from all sorts of crude.    However, when out roving, its
often very quiet and I have had great luck with running Gary's 8 watt
loaner rig and an end mount 6' looper.   Last Rovermania I worked K2YAZ in
EN74 from the EN24/EN25 grid line with that set up.   902 seems to play
more like 432 than 1296.

Looking forward to seeing you and everyone else at Aurora.

73, Jon
