Hi to All
My Name is Al White N0TVJ and I live in Eastern North Carolina in Brunswick 
ounty
nd my QTH is about 1.5 miles from the Ocean. (Grid FM03uw) (Lat: 33.55.56N 
ong: 78.16.06 W)
nd saw the announcement on themicrowave-request at lists.valinet.com  concerning 
his project.
 am a retired Telcom Engineer currently constructing a EME station using a 
PSDR for the
F portion of the Transmitter / Receiver. And the Idea of a Beacon System and 
he possibility
f studying VHF-UHF-Microwave coastal propagation is very interesting to me.
he results of some testing in this area would allow me to use and debug the 
quipment needed for EME at the same frequencies.
s I intend to try EME on 144 MHz  to 10 GHz the hardware requirements are 
imilar.
I know from my progress to date that the mechanical part of the EME dish
ill take a number of years to complete so I have plenty of time for such a 
roject. 
y QTH seems to be in the zone where a good site could be located.  
ink to map on APRS http://aprs.fi/?call=N0TVJ
 have High Speed Internet at my location and most of the
quipment being constructed for EME on 144 MHz  to 10 GHz could also be used for 
he TransAtlantic
onitoring / contacts.  
 may have to build a less directional antennas depending on the targeted 
eceived locations. 
 have gone to the links ( http://sites.google.com/site/n7bhcvhf/) referenced in 
ark Casey, K1MAP 
nd Dave - N7BHC email postings  and have a number of questions about how to 
est proceed. 
 hope following this list will provide some of them.
ne is the first is the contact details for Dave.
Thank you for the bandwidth
73's
Al N0TVJ
