[NLRS] DEMI VUXVert info

[ka0ryt1]

Hello  all . I used my barefoot  FT991  and a new FO25 single  yagi propped up  on a 2by6 and worked DL7APV  on 432 EME easily ( I  have screen  shots  available  ) . This 432 EME QSO was completely  random.  I  also  decoded  another  station  but  the barefoot  991 @ 50 watts couldn't get  their  attention  .I  didn't  have the first cavity  amp  yet done on the  2bd weekend  of the EME contest.  I am already  slowly  building up  cavity amp  #2 of the 20 cavities  from the K0FQA estate  . ( A heavy duty  version of  #1 - 7/16 DIN output  connector  , larger fan and power supply  .) . Probably won't have  it  ready  until  spring  . Ron Bergantzel KA0RYT  Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
