[NLRS] 5.7 portable

[w0zq at aol.com]

Rainscatter works VERY well on 5.7.  My best DX on that band is to Barry, VE4MA, at about 628 km.  That day I worked Barry on 10gigs with 2 watts and a 17 dB horn, and on 5.7 with 2 watts and a 27 dB dish.  When you go out to play RS on 10gigs, bring 5.7 along too.  If you have not, make sure that you subscribe to the upper midwest rain scatter reflector at https://www.chris.org/mailman/listinfo/10gigs .

f I weren't so far away we could give it a try. But it's a ways
etween EN21 and EN50. I've worked that far before on 5760 but in the
penings that only happen once or twice a year.
I suppose rain scatter is a possibility.
