2m tropo station on the air

Post date: Jan 10, 2009 7:41:15 AM

The 2m tropo station is currently on the air. The big M2 2m-19XXX was deemed not repairable in the field. The 2m EME array (4 x M2 2M9) is currently being used with 280 watts on JT-65B. This array is useable only after local moonset.

The 2 11-element yagis should be finished today, and will be used with 150 watts output.

Now that we have Interntet connection from the site, we can make skeds. The Internet is unreliable though, but we will do the best we can do

The best times for skeds will be from 2300 - 0800 UTC.

We are currently on 144.250 MHz, but tonight will switch to 144.245 to avoid a birdie.
