Hello All.

Activity has increased on 432.105 to the point where monitoring 432.105 I worked K9YDD, W8SOL and KU8Y on random during the day Sunday.
It sounds better than 2 meters.

KA2KQM in N. Ga EN74 heard my CW last night at 587 miles.
Kent is on a 3500 foot mountain & running one yagi and low power but working on a big amp and more antenna.

432 is a surprising band when one gives it a try. Antennas are small and high gain achieved easily. 
No you don’t have to buy a $1000 worth of factory made yagis. Many of us build our own for 1/10th the cost.
Mine are DL6WU design 4 x 23 feet 40 elements and approx 24 dbd. Total cost less than $200.

Please join the net on Monday night at 8 PM CST / 9 PM EST on 432.105.

KG0SJ now has a KB9YSJ SS amp running abt 250 watts so Vince is louder in my shack.
WB0YWW is soon to have the same KB9YSJ amp  at his QTH so listen up. Both are serious and persistent VHF & UHF stations.

N0IRS has been absent due to some medical issues with his girlfriend. Pray for her please.
