[Wswss] Mini-expedition to DM25/26/37

[Wayne Overbeck]

Next Tuesday (Nov. 3), N6MU and N6NB will be in Nevada 
(DM25/26) with a 10-band rover station.  On Nov. 4, we 
plan to be in Utah (DM37).  We will have 800 watts 
out on 6 and 2 meters (with vacuum tube amplifiers), 
about 100 watts out on 222 and 432, 50 watts out on 
902 and 1296, and 20 watts out on 2.3, 3.4, 5.7 and 
10 GHz.

Although we will only have relatively small antennas, 
we should be able to work into Southern California
on several bands.  Unfortunately, the place we'll be 
in Utah (Utah Pass near St. George) is clear only 
to the southwest, with higher terrain to the west 
and south.  If time permits, we may also go about 
100 miles further northeast to an overlook in Cedar 
Breaks National Monument (still DM37).  That site 
is clear southeast toward central Arizona and west 
toward the San Francisco Bay Area.
  
Look for us on 144.200 in the late afternoon and early 
evening hours when tropo enhancement often occurs on 
this path.
