FYI - Al Ward, W5ULA, completed WAS on 902 this morning to become the 
first amateur to attain WAS on this band.

KA6U has been out on a huge 902 EME rove and gave Al his last state this 
morning, which was believe it or not, Wisconsin.  I have been trying to 
get on 902 EME, but have been having many problems and have not been 
successful there.  There is a core group that has been pushing for 902 
WAS (many of the guys involved in the 222 push a few years back) that 
are getting close themselves.  The cornfield EME guys down by Cedar 
Rapids are part of that group.

I know the intent s for this group to move up to 2304 next to get the 
first WAS done there and I hope to join them, but I need to find an 
appropriate amplifier in order to do that.  My current 20 watts isn't 
going to cut it.
