[NLRS] Antennas for 902 and 1296 MHz to borrow for UHF contest?

[David Palm]

Friends,

As a little push to have footprints on two more bands for the UHF contest I
purchased the 1296 DEM transverter listed by W6GMT here.  I'm also
revisiting the W1GHZ transverter for 902 MHz that I'm building -- that
homebrew 'verter is "close" to being finished and perhaps if I push I can
get it working by contest time.  I also need to modify my IF rig interface
so that I can drive multiple transverters (see my original write-up here
http://w9hq.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-proper-if-rigfinally.html).

I think just that much might be do-able, but that would leave the matter of
antennas.  I have built WA5VJB "cheap yagis" for both 902 and 1296 MHz, but
those would be marginal from my QTH (they're intended for roving).

I wondered if anybody might have some 902/1296 loopers they would be
willing to loan out?  I will be up in the Twin Cities on business next
week, July 19-21.  I tend to get up there three or four times a year, so
could probably return them later this fall if someone was open to a two or
three month loan.

Thanks and 73,

David  W9HQ
