[Wswss] Persieds Meteor Shower - K7XC - DM09ol - 222 Mhz !

[Tim]

Hey Gang!

I took Thursday and Friday off in addition to the weekend to chase grids on
222 MHz from here in DM09ol.

Currently active on 50 and 144 MHz WSJT and troubleshooting my interface for
the IC-706mkIIg which will give me 222 and 432 MHz WSJT when I get it
running. Until then. It's strictly SSB/CW on 222 and 432 MHz.

Good news though... With the help of Gene - KK4IB who was in town for 2
weeks, We managed to swap out my main 432 array from my 440-18 rover antenna
to a new 9WL K1FO boomer... What a difference 3 DB makes!! Thanks again to
KJ6KO for those wonderful beacons!! Good Job Greg!!

The K7XC station that's available the next 4 days is as follows:

 50 MHz - IC746 - 100W - 6 ele K7XC design on a 30' boom at 35', WSJT
capable
144 MHz - IC746 - 100W - 18XXX at 37', WSJT Capable
222 MHz - IC706mkIIg IF - DEMI Xvtr - 120W - 7wl M2 at 39', Hopefully on
WSJT later tonight
432 MHz - IC706mkIIg - 120W - 9wl K1FO at 41', Hopefully on WSJT later
tonight

Looking for MS Skeds / Tropo Skeds, etc... Mainly on for the chance to work
new 222 Grids on ANY mode possible.

During the UHF contest I heard DN13, DN41, DM26, and DM13 amongst others....
Not bad from the bottom of a 4000' valley. I have to admit the valley is 40
miles wide with low horizons in all directions. :-)

I will also be on the 220 Proplogger, the 220 DXers chat page, and the Ping
jockey web sites to solicit Qs the next 4 days...

Best of luck everyone!!
