1296 test

[Glenn Pritchard]

Hi everyone

Is there anyone in the upper peninsula that can do some testing from Port Angeles to Victoria on 1296?

I am currently trying to test some antennas for 23cm however there are no operators in my area.

Kirk VA7RKM is in your area and QRV on 1296.

Dave KG0D has 1296 near Sequim.

 

Other possibles up north here

 

Bob, WA7ZWG in Bellingham

Paul, WA9BTV in Burlington on a hill

Rick, W7RNB in Edmonds

Reg, VE7US near Victoria

 

I might also be in range via bounce.  I can work VE7US near Victoria easily and VA7RKM as well.   I am pointed at Mt Rainier but have high gain and power, LNA.   Using FT-8 improves the chance of us working.

 

Eventually KD7UO should be back on after setting up at his new home in Anacortes.

Mt Tolmie in Victoria.

I'm going to do that tomorrow morning for a bit starting about 10am for a couple of hours and for the next few days to see. I have a 24 element loop yagi and a small dish for experiments.

IC-9700 with the antennas mounted on a surveyors tripod.
