[NLRS] REMINDER - 432 Spring Sprint this Wednesday de KA0RYT ( and digital Frequency Query )

[Ronald Bergantzel]

Hello - Just a quick reminder that the 432 Sprint is this Wednesday evening at 7 to 11 pm local time ....... On a side note ;  I see that the standard 432 FT8 frequency is 432.174 but no real mention of the Q65 calling frequency except a WSJTX default of 432.065 - anyone have any thoughts or input on this ??  432.065 is in the 70cm EME window BUT  there's not alot of 432 EMEr's around - I dont favor this frequency for Q65 (IF IT CATCHES ON LIKE FT8 ) because I have and will be doing some 432 EME ops in the near future and expect QRM for EME  if it DOES GET POPULAR ..... Anyone care to provide input on the 432.065 for Q65  ????? Am open for anyone to share their input on this subject .On a side note = with a change in rigs ( going to an IC9100 ) The "FQA Special " cavity amplifier ( RCA 4661 tetrode cavity ) continues to work as am able to get 1500 watts output with the extra RF from the 9100 on 432 { 1500 watts output with 62 watts drive }, although on digital modes , I'm getting 200 watts output drift at the 4 th and 5th xmit sequence but am addressing that with improvements in the thru cavity air flow BUT can run 1200 watts without the thermal drift . So will plan on the 432 Sprint running 1200w digital and 1500w SSB / CW  ..... Don't forget to get on Wednesday eve and as always , any sked requests (any mode ) WELCOME !!73s , Ron KA0RYT
